越過松林，遠處有一座小花園。那裡青草長得又長又茂盛，鐵杉花像潔白的星星一樣閃耀，夜鶯整夜唱歌。牠整夜歌唱，冰冷的月光俯瞰著牠，紫杉樹張開巨大的枝幹，庇護著沉睡的人們。
Far away beyond the pine-woods, there is a little garden. There the grass grows long and deep, there are the great white stars of the hemlock flower, there the nightingale sings all night long. All night long he sings, and the cold crystal moon looks down, and the yew-tree spreads out its giant arms over the sleepers.
