by C. G. Rossetti

(Part I)
O sailor, come ashore¹
What have you brought for me?
Red coral , white coral,
Coral from the sea.

啊！水手，上岸吧
你给我带来什么？
海里的珊瑚，
红的，白的。

(Part II)
I did not dig it from the ground
Nor pluck it from a tree;
Feeble insects made it
In the stormy sea.

它不是我从地下挖的，
也不是从树上摘的；
它是暴风雨的海裹
弱小昆虫做成的。
