The Chemney Sweeper
by William Blake
A little black thing among the snow,
Crying "'weep! 'weep!" in notes of woe!
"Where are thy father and mother, say?"
"They are both gone up to the church to pray.
"Because I was happy upon the heath,
And smiled among the winter's snow,
They clothed me in the clothes of death,
And taught me to sing the notes of woe.
"And because I am happy and dance and sing,
They think they have done me no injury,
And are gone to praise God and his Priest and King,
Who make up a heaven of our misery."
翻譯就算了吧，稍稍大概就是woe church priest 之類的詞陌生壹點，意思查壹查就很明了了。
讀的時候註意節奏，這首詩歌節奏感很強，類似於童謠。
