The deer’s hair is short and brown,

The bird’s have soft down.

The rabbit’s nose is very sharp,

The robin’s voice is like a harp¹.

鹿儿棕毛短短，

鸟儿绒毛软软。

兔鼻闻味灵验

知更鸟歌声妙如竖琴潺潺。

The mountains are very tall,

The trees grow and fall.

The bear is asleep in its den²,

The fox is stalking the hen.

高山高啊，

大树长起来了还会倒。

熊在窝里睡觉。

狐狸追着山鸡跑。

The gees³ are all flying away,

But the ground squirrels are here to stay.

These are all the things I saw

Nature is living to its law.

野鹅成群结队飞，

地鼠却还在睡。

亲眼目睹此情此景，

大自然自有自己的法规。
