(单词翻译:双击或拖选)

In Bowlahoola Los's Anvils¹ stand and his Furnaces rage；

Thundering the Hammers beat， and the Bellows² blow loud，

Living， self-moving， mourning， lamenting³， and howling incessantly⁴

Bowlahoola thro' all its porches feels， tho' too fast founded，

Its pillars and porticoes⁵ to tremble at the force

Of mortal or immortal⁶ arm； and softly lilling flutes⁷，

Accordant with the horrid⁸ labours， make sweet melody

The Bellows are the Animal Lungs， the Hammers the Animal Heart，

The Furnaces the Stomach for digestion⁹； terrible their fury！

Thousands and thousands labour， thousands play on instruments，

Stringèd or fluted¹⁰， to ameliorate the sorrows of slavery.

Loud sport the dancers in the Dance of Death， rejoicing in carnage.

The hard dentant Hammers are lull'd by the flutes' lula lula，

The bellowing¹¹ Furnaces' blare by the long-sounding clarion¹²，

The double drum drowns howls and groans¹³， the shrill¹⁴ fife shrieks¹⁵ and cries，
