The man who wants a garden fair, Or small or very big, With flowers growing here and there, Must bend his back and dig.
有人想要一个美丽的花园, 面积大小姑且不管, 只要园中开满鲜花, 他就要弯腰辛勤打点。
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.
世上没有多少事, 能完全如我们所愿。 任何有价值之事, 都要靠劳动去换。
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.
不管你的目标为何, 成功的秘密就在眼前: 你得不断地耕耘, 去收获玫瑰满园。
