WHO stole sleep from baby's eyes? I must know. 谁从孩子的眼里把睡眠偷了去呢?我一定要知道。
Clasping her pitcher to her waist mother went to fetch water from the village near by. 妈妈把她的水罐挟在腰间，走到近村汲水去了。
It was noon. The children's playtime was over; the ducks in the pond were silent. 这是正午的时候，孩子们游戏的时间已经过去了;池中的鸭子沉默无声。
The shepherd boy lay asleep under the shadow of the banyan tree. 牧童躺在榕树的荫下睡着了。
The crane stood grave and still in the swamp near the mango grove. 白鹤庄重而安静地立在檬果树边的泥泽里。

Who stole sleep from our baby's eyes? I must know. I must find her and chain her up. 谁从孩子的眼里把睡眠偷了去呢?我一定要知道。我一定要找到她，把她锁起来。
I must look into that dark cave, where, through boulders and scowling stones, trickles a tiny stream. 我一定要向那个黑洞里张望，在这个洞里，有一道小泉从圆的有皱纹的石上滴下来。
I must search in the drowsy shade of the bakula grove, where pigeons coo in their corner, and fairies' anklets tinkle in the stillness of starry nights. 我一定要到醉花①林中的沉寂的树影里搜寻，在这林中，鸽子在它们住的地方咕咕地叫着，仙女的脚环在繁星满天的静夜里丁当地响着。
In the evening I will peep into the whispering silence of the bamboo forest, where fireflies squander their light, and will ask every creature I meet, "Can anybody tell me where the Sleep-stealer lives?" 我要在黄昏时，向静静的萧萧的竹林里窥望，在这林中，萤火虫闪闪地耗费它们的光明，只要遇见一个人，我便要问他：“谁能告诉我偷睡眠者住在什么地方?”

谁从孩子的眼里把睡眠偷了去呢?我一定要知道。
Shouldn't I give her a good lesson if I could only catch her!
只要我能捉住她，怕不会给她一顿好教训!
I would raid her nest and see where she hoards all her stolen sleep.
我要闯入她的巢穴，看她把所有偷来的睡眠藏在什么地方。
I would plunder it all, and carry it home.
我要把它都夺来，带回家去。
I would bind her two wings securely, set her on the bank of the river, and then let her play at fishing with a reed among the rushes and water-lilies.
我要把她的双翼缚得紧紧的，把她放在河边，然后叫她拿一根芦苇在灯心草和睡莲间钓鱼为戏。
When the marketing is over in the evening, and the village children sit in their mothers' laps, then the night birds will mockingly din her ears with:
黄昏，街上已经收了市，村里的孩子们都坐在妈妈的膝上时，夜鸟便会讥笑地在她 耳边说：
"Whose sleep will you steal now?"
“你现在还想偷谁的睡眠呢?”

Baby knows all manner of wise words, though few on earth can understand their meaning.
孩子知道各式各样的聪明话，虽然世间的人很少懂得这些话的意义。
It is not for nothing that he never wants to speak.
他所以永不想说，并不是没有缘故。
The one thing he wants is to learn mother's words from mother's lips. That is why he looks so innocent. 他所要做的一件事，就是要学习从妈妈的嘴唇里说出来的话。那就是他所以看来这样天真的缘故。
Baby had a heap of gold and pearls, yet he came like a beggar on to this earth.
孩子有成堆的黄金与珠子，但他到这个世界上来，却像一个乞丐。

This dear little naked mendicant pretends to be utterly helpless, so that he may beg for mother's wealth of love. 这个可爱的小小的裸着身体的乞丐，所以假装着完全无助的样子，便是想要乞求妈妈的爱的财富。
