Boats sail on the rivers, 小舟在河上航行，

And ships sail on the seas; 大船在海中操輪，

But clouds that sail across the sky, 然而白云飄過天空時，

Are prettier far than these. 比這些更為悅人。

There are bridges on the rivers, 河上有橋，

As pretty as you please; 如你所愿的那么悅目;

But the bow that bridges heaven, 然而橫跨在穹蒼的長虹，

And overtops the trees, 卻比樹梢更高，

And builds a road from earth to sky, 而能建筑一條通行天際的道路，

Is prettier far than these. 比這些更為美好。
