I placed a jar in Tennessee, 我放了壹只壇子在田納西
And round it was, upon a hill. 圓圓的壇子，聳立在小山頂。
It made the slovenly wilderness它使這懶散的荒野
Surround that hill. 環繞著那座小山
The wilderness rose up to it, 荒野向它湧去
And sprawled around, no longer wild. 並向四周蔓延，不再野性
The jar was round upon the ground圓圓的壇子立在地上
And tall and of a port in air. 高聳如同空中的港口
It took dominion everywhere. 它統治著每壹個地方
The jar was gray and bare. 這光禿禿的灰壇子
It did not give of bird or bush, 它長不出鳥兒與樹叢
Like nothing else in Tennessee. 不像田納西的其它地方
