威廉·华兹华斯[1]
我像朵云，孤独地漂泊
飘浮于山谷与谷地之上，
恍然举头，成千上万朵
金色的水仙花迎春开放；
在树荫下，在湖水边，
在微风中，舞姿翩翩。
连绵不绝，如星光璀璨
在银河中闪烁明灭，
株株水仙，沿海湾边缘
延绵成无尽的序列；
一眼看去花团锦簇，
婆娑起舞风情绵绵。
波光粼粼起舞，
水仙却更欢欣雀跃；
诗人有此快意为伴，
心中怎不怡然自得；
我凝视良久，却未曾想
这美景值得我永久珍藏；
每当我倚榻而卧，
茫然若失，千愁万绪，
水仙在心中闪现，
那是孤独中的唯一慰藉；
于是我的心充满幸福，
和水仙一同翩跹而舞。
I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud
William Wordsworth
I wandered lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o'er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host, of golden daffodils;
Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.
Continuous as the stars that shine
And twinkle on the milky way,
They stretched in never-ending line
Along the margin of a bay:
Ten thousand saw I at a glance,
Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.
The waves beside them danced; but they
Out—did the sparkling waves in glee:
A poet could not but be gay,
In such a jocund company:
I gazed—and gazed—but little thought
What wealth the show to me had brought:
For oft, when on my couch I lie
In vacant or in pensive mood,
They flash upon that inward eye
Which is the bliss of solitude;
And then my heart with pleasure fills,
And dances with the daffodils.
