小舟在河上航行

Boats Sail on the Rivers

小舟在河上航行，大船在海中操轮，然而白云飘过天空时，比这些更为悦目。河上有桥，如你所愿的那么悦目；然而横跨在穹苍的长虹，却比树梢更高，而能建筑一条通行天际的道路，比这些更为美好。

Boats sail on the rivers, And ships sail on the seas; But clouds that sail across the sky, Are prettier far 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.
