【英文诗篇】我的床儿是小舟
My bed is like a little boat;
Nurse helps me in when I embark[上船];
She girds[束紧] me in my sailor’s coat
And starts me in the dark.
At night I go on board and say
Good-night to all my friends on shore;
I shut my eyes and sail away
And see and hear no more.
And sometimes things to bed I take,
As prudent[慎重的] sailors have to do;
Perhaps a slice of wedding-cake,
Perhaps a toy or two.
