And down she sets her bowl on the brick floor brown,

And little dog Rags drinks up her milk,

While she strokes his shaggy locks, like silk:

"Dear Rags!" says little Gustava.
“亲爱的抹布！”小古斯塔瓦语调轻快。
Waiting without stood sparrow and crow,

Cooling their feet in the melting snow.

"Won't you come in, good folk?" she CRIed,
“你们不进来吗，善良的居民？”她呼唤，
But they were too bashful, and staid outside,

"Though "Pray come in!" CRIed Gustava.
“请进来吧！”古斯塔瓦还是大声喊。
So the last she threw them, and knelt on the mat,
最后她把所有食物都往外抛，
With doves, and biddy, and dog, and cat.
