The Land of Counterpane

When I was sick and lay a-bed,

I had two pillows at my head,

And all my toys beside me lay

To keep me happy all the day.

And sometimes for an hour or so

I watched my leaden soldiers go,

With different uniforms and drills,

Among the bed-clothes, through the hills;

And sometimes sent my ships in fleets

All up and down among the sheets;

Or brought my trees and houses out,

And planted cities all about.

I was the giant great and still

That sits upon the pillow-hill,

And sees before him, dale and plain,

The pleasant land of counterpane.

床上的大陆

当我生病躺在床上,

靠着两只枕头遐想,

所有的玩具陪在我身旁,

度过整天悠闲的时光。

一个钟头又一个钟头,

我看着锡兵列队行走,

佩着各色肩章和纽扣,

各自穿过床单的山沟。

有时我的舰队航行在海上,

对抗着棉被掀起的巨浪;

有时我让树木到处生长,

再盖起一座座漂亮的楼房。

我是一个了不起的巨人,

坐在枕头山冈的最高处,

静静俯视我的平原和峡谷,

还有整个床上的大陆。
