Not a soul would dare to sleep:

And a storm was on the deep.

這是冬天最可怕的事，
To be shattered by the blast,

And to hear the rattling trumpet
聽到繩梯的吼叫聲
Thunder, "Cut away the mast!"
雷聲，“切斷桅桿！”
So we shuddered there in silence,
我們在沉默中戰(zhàn)栗，

While the hungry sea was roaring,

As he staggered down the stairs.
從樓梯上跌跌撞撞地跑下來。
But his little daughter whispered,

Just the same as on the land?
也會在海上嗎？
Then we kissed the little maiden,
我們親了親小女孩，
And we spoke in better cheer;
用更加歡快的語調(diào)談話；
And we anchored safe in harbor

When the morn was shining clear.
