LESSON 25

THE CLOUDS

bearers earth warm sultry wander
rays grain clouds o'er were

Clouds that wander through the sky,

Sometimes low and sometimes high;

In the darkness of the night,

In the sunshine warm and bright.

Ah! I wonder much if you

Have any useful work to do.

Yes, we're busy night and day,

As o'er the earth we take our way.

We are bearers of the rain

To the grass, and flowers, and grain;

We guard you from the sun's bright rays,

In the sultry summer days.

漆黑的夜晚,

温暖灿烂的阳光下。

云朵漫步天空,

时而高,时而低。

啊,我真想知道,

你们是否要做很多益事?

是的,我们日夜忙碌,

以我们的方式守护大地。

我们是雨滴的使者,

浇滴草地、花朵和庄稼。

在炎热的夏日,

我们保护你免受强光的照射。
