What rules the world? 什么支配着世界
By william ross wallace (1819–1881)
作者 威廉.罗斯.华莱士
They say that man is mighty,
都说人力无穷,
He governs land and sea;
支配着陆地与大海,
He wields a mighty scepter
行使着至高无上的王权,
o’er lesser powers that be;
统治着弱小的生灵。
But a mightier power and stronger,
然而还有更强大的力量,
Man from his throne has hurled,
将人从宝座上掀起,
And the hand that rocks the cradle
是那双轻推着摇篮的手,
is the hand that rules the world
主宰着整个世界。
