Last night the Stork came stalking,
And, Stork, beneath your wing Lay,
lapped in dreamless slumber,
The tiniest little thing!
From Babyland, out yonder
Beside the silver sea,
You brought a priceless treasure
As gift to mine and me!

- An excerpt from the poem by Eugene Field entitled “The Stork”


中文：

昨夜

送子鳥悄悄地靠近
在牠的羽翼下
呵護著
睡夢中的小小寶貝
如此香甜、如此平靜

銀光閃耀的海岸邊
那遙遠的國度
千途跋涉
為我帶來無價的溫暖
是那我期盼專屬於我的禮物
我可愛的寶貝

-尤金‧菲爾得
