Introduction
天真之歌序诗
Piping down the valleys wild,
我吹着枚笛从荒谷走下来
Piping songs of pleasant glee,
吹着愉快欢欣的歌，
On a cloud I saw a child,
我看见云端上有一个小孩。
And he laughing said to me:
他乐呵呵地对我说。
'Pipe a song about a Lamb!'
吹一支小羔羊的歌吧：
So I piped with merry cheer.
我便吹得如痴如醉，
'Piper, pipe that song again.'
吹笛人再吹一遍吧——
So I piped: he wept to hear.
我就吹了，他听着却掉了泪。
'Drop thy pipe, thy happy pipe;
放下你的风笛，你美好的风笛
Sing thy songs of happy cheer!'
唱一些欢乐的曲调，
So I sung the same again,
我就又把它重新唱起，
While he wept with joy to hear.
他听着、高兴得眼泪直掉。
'Piper, sit thee down and write
吹笛人你坐下来写点吧，
In a book, that all may read.'
写成一本书让大伙都读到——
So he vanished from my sight;
他说完就消失在我眼前，
And I plucked a hollow reed,
我就摘了一根空心的芦苇草。
And I made a rural pen,
我做成一枝乡土味的笔，
And I stained the water clear,
我把它往清清的水里一蘸，
And I wrote my happy songs
我写下我快乐的歌曲，
Every child may joy to hear.
孩子们个个都听得喜欢。
