A Wish一个愿望

I often sit and wish that I

Could be a kite up in the sky，

And ride upon the breeze and go

Whatever way it chanced to blow;

Then I could look beyond the town，

And see the river winding down，

And follow all the ships that sail

Like me before the merry gale，

Until at last with them I came

To some place with a foreign name.

我經常坐着，希望我

可以是一只风筝上升到天空，

乘着微风

随风飘荡;

然后我可以看到小镇以外，

看见河流蜿蜒顺流而下，

跟着所有航行的船

像我一样在快乐的微风前面，

直到最后我随船来到

有外国名字的某个地方。
