请跟英语兔我一起读:

Life,believe, is not a dream

我相信生命不是梦一场

So dark assages say;

不像前人口中的光明无望

Oft alittle morning rain

清晨的一场小雨

Foretellsa pleasant day.

往往预示着一天的欢愉

Sometimesthere are clouds of gloom,

有时也有阴暗的云层

But theseare transient all;

但它们只做片刻的停留

If theshower will make the roses bloom,

如果这雨能让玫瑰绽放

O whylament its fall?

为什么要哀叹它的降临

Rapidly,merrily,

快点吧高兴起来

Life'ssunny hours flit by,

生命的阳光不我待

Gratefully,cheerily,

满怀感激满心欢喜

Enjoy themas they fly!

跟着阳光去徜徉

Whatthough Death at times steps in

要是死神偶尔溜进来

And callsour Best away?

夺走了我们的挚爱

Whatthough sorrow seems to win,

要是悲痛总比希望占上风

O'er hope,a heavy sway?

难以动摇的摆布

Yet hopeagain elastic springs,

然而希望是伸缩的弹簧

Unconquered,though she fell;

倒下去又起来绝不屈服

Stillbuoyant are her golden wings,

她那轻盈的金色翅膀

Stillstrong to bear us well.

拥有拖起众生的力量
