| The seeds I sowed— | 我播下的种子—— |
| For weeks unseen— | 几个星期不见—— |
| Have pushed up pygmy | 已经爆出绿芽， |
| Shoots of green; | 小得只一点点； |
| So frail you'd think | 它们那么脆弱， |
| The tiniest stone | 你们一定会想， |
| Would never let | 连小石子也能 |
| A glimpse be shown. | 阻止它们生长。 |
| But no; a pebble | 不对；有块石子 |
| Near them lies, | 就在它们边上， |
| At least a cherry-stone | 它的大小至少 |
| In size, | 跟个樱桃相像， |
| Which that meresprout | 可是那棵幼芽 |
| Has heaved away, | 把这石子推开， |
| To bask in sunshine, | 冒出来晒太阳， |
| See the Day. | 看看外面世界。 |
