威廉·華茲華斯[1]

我像朵云，孤獨地漂泊

飄浮于山谷與谷地之上，

恍然舉頭，成千上萬朵

金色的水仙花迎春開放；

在樹蔭下，在湖水邊，

在微風中，舞姿翩翩。

連綿不絕，如星光璀璨

在銀河中閃爍明滅，

株株水仙，沿海灣邊緣

延綿成無盡的序列；

一眼看去花團錦簇，

婆娑起舞風情綿綿。

波光粼粼起舞，

水仙卻更歡欣雀躍；

詩人有此快意為伴，

心中怎不怡然自得；

我凝視良久，卻未曾想

這美景值得我永久珍藏；

每當我倚榻而臥，

茫然若失，千愁萬緒，

水仙在心中閃現，

那是孤獨中的唯一慰藉；

于是我的心充滿幸福，

和水仙一同翩躚而舞。

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.
