Cry "Neap, neap, neap;"
I see a dear baby
That should be asleep.

three children on the ice
three children sliding on the ice
upon a summer's day,
as it fell out, they all fell in,
the rest they ran away.
oh, had these children been at school,
or sliding on dry ground,
ten thousand pounds to one penny
they had not then been drowned.
ye parents who have children dear,
and ye, too, who have none,
if you would keep them safe abroad
pray keep them safe at home.

或者在幹的地面上滑,
一便士的一萬英鎊，
他們沒有再被淹死。。

而且誰也沒有,
如果你想在國外保證他們的安全，
就在家祈禱他們安全。
