My Shadow
by Robert Stevenson
I have a little shadow/ that goes in/ and out with me,
And what can be the use of him/ is more than I can see.
He is very, very like me from the heels/ up to the head;
And I see him jump before me, when I jump/ into my bed.
One morning, very early, before the sun was up,
I rose and found the shining dew/ on every buttercup;
But my lazy little shadow, like an arrant sleepy-head,
Had stayed at home behind me/ and was fast asleep in bed.
我的影子
我有一个小影子/天天跟着我
要说他有什么用/我也不知道
他和我特别的像/从头像到脚
还总是在我之前/往我床上跳
有一天我起得早/比太阳还早
露水珠儿闪耀在/每朵金凤花
小影子是大懒虫/他还没睡饱
一个人在我家里/睡呀睡大觉
