Up the snowy spires, where the air is thin as glass 截至白雪皑皑的尖顶，那里空气稀薄玻璃

Once a year the cold mists clear and you can see inside the earth 一年一度的冷雾气清除，你可以在地球内部看

High in that crystal palace I built a sailing ship 高在水晶宫我建了一个帆船

Mast and wheel of polished brass, sails of golden silk 桅杆和抛光黄铜轮，金丝的帆

I piped the engine steam, I set velocitations í管道的蒸汽引擎，我设置velocitations

I consulted dusty maps, set careful calibrations 我咨询过尘土飞扬的地图中，设置小心校准

Ever inward ever in, peering through my scope 不断向内有史以来，通过窥视我的范围

I sailed deep into the hollows, deep inside the earth í航行深入到空洞，地球深处

I traveled a boiling river through streams of mercury 我是通过水银流走沸腾的河流

Underneath volcanoes and the roots of ancient trees 底下的火山和古树的根

Underneath stalactites I lit phosphorus lamps 下面钟乳石我点燃磷灯

Sparks snapped into the air and coiled up the mast 火花捕捉到空气中，盘绕在桅杆

I watched enormous birds diving through the slate 我在石板看着巨大的潜水鸟

As I stood upon the prow in my oilskin cap and cape 正如我在油布帽子和斗篷站到船头

At last my anchor caught and echoed through the stone 最后我的锚抓，并通过石回荡

And I climbed an old rope ladder miles through the gloam 我通过gloam爬上老绳梯公里

Then up above I saw it, a glowworm’s little light 再向上上面我看到了吧，萤火虫的小光

And I reached out and caught it in the center of the night 我伸出手，在夜色的中心抓住它

Tightly in my fist I held that glowing worm 紧紧抱在​​我的拳头我拿着那发光的蠕虫

Deep down in the hollows I held the center of the world 在内心深处的空洞我曾在世界的中心
