Are friendly as two things could be, 是最友好不过的，

For when the sky is smiling blue, 因为当天空微笑着蔚蓝，

The lake is always happy too. 湖也总是快乐的。

The sky seems never to be gay¹. 天空似乎永远不会晴朗。

That I can’t tell where either ends. 我不知道这两者的终点在哪

And when I sit upon the sands. 当我坐在沙滩上

To meet the other one. 会遇见另一个

Who knows? 谁又知晓？
