雪地裡一個小黑點

哭著掃掃叫人憐

你的爹娘在哪兒 說呀

他們都去禮拜堂祈禱啦

我在荒野裡曾經很快樂

還在冬天的雪裡歡笑

他們就讓我穿上黑衣

叫我唱起悲傷的小調

我還是快樂 又跳又唱

爹娘就以為沒把我害夠

就去讚美上帝 神父和國王

是他們在我們的苦難上建起天堂

A little black thing among the snow:

Crying weep, weep, in notes of woe!

Where are thy father & mother? say?

They are both gone up to the church to pray.

Because I was happy upon the heath,

And smild among the winters snow:

They clothed me in the clothes of death,

Abd taught me to sing the notes of woe.

And becuse I am happy & dance & sing,

They think they have done me no injury:

And are gone to praise God & his Priest & King

Who make up a heaven of our misery.
