A Child's Garden of Verses

In these "Verses" he writes as a child rather than about children, and in this lies much of the charm which they possess for little readers.

在这些"诗篇"中，他以孩子的身份书写，而非书写孩子们；正因如此，这些诗作才拥有深深吸引小读者的魅力。

Glad did I live and gladly die, And I laid me down with a will.

我活得欢喜，死亦甘愿，我心意已决地安然长眠。
