HELEN COALE CREW
海伦科尔船员
I am the master workman, and my work
我是工匠大师,我的工作
Is never done—I count the hours that fly,
就是什么也不做——我数着飞逝的时光,
And from the top shelf, lifted up on high
从最高的架子上,高高举起
That all may see me, call to those that shirk
让所有人都看到我,呼唤那些逃避的人
And bid them hasten, since the world’s good work
请他们赶快,因为世间的好工作
Cannot be done by those who sit and sigh
坐着叹息是完不成的
While precious minutes haste forever by.
宝贵的时间匆匆而过。
“Come then,” I call.
“快来吧,”我呼唤。
“Come work, and work, and work!”
“快来工作、工作、工作! ”
