Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers.
Did Peter Piper pick a peck of pickled peppers?
If Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers,
where’s the peck of pickled peppers Peter Piper picked?

清平调
云想衣裳花想容
春风拂槛露华浓
若非群玉山头见
会向瑶台 月下逢
一枝红艳露凝香
云雨巫山枉断肠
借问汉宫谁得似
可怜飞燕倚新妆
名花倾国两相欢
长得君王带笑看
解识春风无限恨
沉香亭北倚栏杆
The beautiful Lady Yang
Her robe is made of cloud; her face of flowers made,
Caressed by vernal breeze, freshened by morning dew,
Charming as Fairy Queen in her Mountain of jade
Or Godness of the Moon in her palace sky-blue.
A branch of peony with her fragrance impearled,
Sweeter than Mountain Goddness bringing showers in dreams,
Unrivaled by the beauties of the ancient world,
Not e’en by Flying Swallow in her dress that gleams.
The beauty gazes at the flower she admires,
Winning the monarch’s smiling gaze from hour to hour;
Gratifying Spring Wind’s insatiable desires,
She leans on balustrade north of the Fragrant Bower.

We’ll go no more a-roving
George Gordon Byron, Lord Byron.( 1788–1824)
So, we’ll go no more a-roving
So late into the night,
Though the heart be still as loving,
And the moon be still as bright.
For the sword outwears its sheath,
And the soul wears out the breast,
And the heart must pause to breathe,
And love itself have rest.
Though the night was made for loving,
And the day returns too soon,
Yet we’ll go no more a-roving
By the light of the moon.

春晓
春眠不觉晓，
处处闻啼鸟。
夜来风雨声，
花落知多少。
Spring morning
This spring morning in bed I’m lying,
Not to awake till birds are crying,
After one night of wind and showers,
How many are the fallen flowers?
我们已经开始录音了。
先听为快。

The House on the Hill
Edwin Arlington Robinson(1869-1935)
They are all gone away,
The house is shut and still,
There is nothing more to say.
Through broken walls and gray
The winds blow bleak and shrill:
They are all gone away.
Nor is there one today
To speak them good or ill:
There is nothing more to say.
Why is it then we stray
Around the sunken sill?
They are all gone away.
And our poor fancy-play
For them is wasted skill:
There is nothing more to say.
There is ruin and decay
In the house on the hill:
They are all gone away,
There is nothing more to say.

新年三宝。
我遇过几位家长，他们告诉我，孩子们很喜欢《新新年》。
几乎每一句都会念，几乎每一句都会唱。
而且，年头听到年尾。
一起回味。

She sells sea shells by the sea shore.
The shells she sells are surely seashells.
So if she sells shells on the seashore,
I’m sure she sells seashore shells.

这是沁珈作的曲。
一天看见星洲日报访问沁珈，并把沁珈多年创作的履历一一摊出。
独往了她参与《英雄情》的多首佳作。
是沁珈往了这些创作，还是记者忘了写。
这些歌曲，如果加以流传，又可以多传百年啊！
