Edgar Albert Guest
The man who wants a garden fair,
Or small or very big,
With flowers growing here and there,
Must bend his back and dig.
The things are mighty few on earth
That wishes can attain.
Whate'er we want of any worth
We've got to work to gain.
It matters not what goal you seek
Its secret here reposes:
You've got to dig from week to week
To get Results or Roses.
要想有个美丽花园,
面积大小姑且不管,
只要园中长满鲜花,
就必须把汗水挥洒。
有愿望就能实现,
这样的事还真是少见,
只要想要的东西有价值,
就得靠努力去创造。
目标是什么并不重要,
秘诀终归只有一条:
周复一周不怕劳累,
才能收获硕果或者玫瑰。
