这么小这么小一艘船

'Twas such a little—little boat

颠簸到港口！

这么大这么大一片海

That toddled down the bay!

召唤它离开！

'Twas such a gallant—gallant sea

这么贪这么贪的海浪

That beckoned it away!

舔它过来，从岸边；

'Twas such a greedy, greedy wave

也从不猜是什么庄严的航行

That licked it from the Coast—

葬送了我小小的船！

Nor ever guessed the stately sails

My little craft was lost!
