The Rainbow

Boats sail on the rivers,

And ships sail on the seas;

But clouds that asail across the sky

Are prettier than these.

There are bridges on the rivers,

As pretty as you please;

But the bow that bridges heaven,

And overtops the trees,

And builds a road from earth to sky,

Is prettier far than these.

彩虹

小船走在河里

大船航于海洋

但航行在天空的云彩

比它们更加漂亮

河上座座小桥

看着个个时尚

但那远远高过树尖的

架在天上桥梁

一路由地通天

远比它们更漂亮
