[12-19]卖火柴的小女孩-The Little Match-Girl 3
She kindled a third match.
Again shot up the flame;
and now she was sitting under a most beautiful Christmas tree ,
far larger, and far more prettily decked out,
than the one she had seen last Christmas eve through the glass doors of the rich merchant's house.
Hundreds of wax-tapers lighted up the GREen branches, and tiny painted figures,
such as she had seen in the shop-windows, looked down from the tree upon her.
The child stretched out her hands towards them in delight, and in that moment the lights of the match warm quenched; still, however, the Christmas candles burned higher and higher,
she beheld them beaming like stars in heaven; one of them fell, the lights streaming behind it like a long, fiery tail. |
