I'll tell you how the Sun rose
A Ribbon at a time-
The Steeples swam in Amethyst-
The news , like Squirrels , ran-
The Hills untied their Bonnets-
The bobolinks-begun-
我来告诉你 太阳升起时的模样
每次都穿戴一条丝带--
头顶在紫色水晶里徜徉--
他来的消息，就像松鼠奔跑--
山峦摘下他们的礼帽--
食米鸟儿开始鸣唱--
Then I said softly to myself
"That must have been the Sun "！
But how he set-I know not-
There seemed a purple stile
That little Yellow boys and girls
Were climbing all the while-
于是我对自己轻声细语
“那一定就是太阳”
但他怎样西沉，我并不知详-
似乎有一个紫色的阶梯
那些着黄衣的小男孩和小女孩们
一直攀爬在台阶上
Till when they reached the other side
A Dominie in Gray
Put gently up the evening Bars
And led the flock away
直到他们到达另一边
穿着灰色衣服的神父
轻轻地关上夜的门闩
并带领他们一行走远
