Poems of William Blake, Chapter 3

Then naked and white,all their bags left behind
把工具袋丢下，赤条条的，白白的
They rise upon clouds,and sport in the wind
他们升到云端，在风中嬉戏
And the angel told Tom,if he'd be a good boy“
只要你做个好孩子，”天使对汤姆说
He'd have God for his father,and never want joy“
上帝会做你的父亲，永不缺少欢喜。”
And so Tom awoke,and we rose in the dark
汤姆于是梦醒，我们在黑暗中起床
And got with our bags and our brushes to work
拿起工具袋和刷子去干活
Though the morning was cold,Tom was happy and warm
晨风虽冷，汤姆自感心欢温暖
So,if all do their duty,they need not fear harm
如果所有人都恪尽职守，就不怕灾难
