When I was sick and lay a-bed,
I had two pillows at my head,
And all my toys beside me lay
To keep me happy all the day.
And sometimes for an hour or so
I watched my leaden soldiers go,
With different uniforms and drills,
Among the bed-clothes, through the hills;
And sometimes sent my ships in fleets
All up and down among the sheets;
Or brought my trees and houses out,
And planted cities all about.
I was the giant great and still
That sits upon the pillow-hill,
And sees before him, dale and plain,
The pleasant land of counterpane.
Когда я был болен и лежал в постели,
У меня на голове две подушки,
И все мои игрушки рядом со мной лежали
Чтобы я был счастлив весь день.
А иногда на час или около того
Я смотрел, как уходят мои свинцовые солдаты,
С разной формой и тренировками,
Среди постельного белья, сквозь холмы;
И иногда отправлял свои корабли во флот
Все вверх и вниз среди листов;
Или вытащил мои деревья и дома,
И все вокруг насадил города.
Я был великаном и все еще
Это сидит на холме из подушек,
И видит перед собой долину и равнину,
Приятная земля покрывала.
