Upon Westminster Bridge
[英]威廉·華茲華斯
William Wordsworth
大地展露出從未有過的壯麗景象:
它莊嚴而輝煌,
任何人走過都會驚歎。
城市沐浴著瑰麗的晨光,
猶如身披一襲霓裳,清新而安詳。
那些船舶、尖塔、穹頂、劇院與教堂,
直伸向綠野,伸向藍天;
都在澄碧的天宇下閃耀著光芒。
太陽從未將這美麗的晨曦
披於岩石,播在峽穀,灑上山梁,
我從未看過,也未感受過這般靜謐!
河水自由自在地緩緩流淌:
親愛的主啊,似乎千家萬戶仍在安睡,
那顆偉大的心也在靜靜地休憩!
Earth has not anything to show more fair:
Dull would he be of soul who could pass by
A sight so touching in its majesty:
This City now doth, like a garment, wear
The beauty of the morning;silent, bare,
Ships, towers, domes, theatres, and temples lie
Open unto the fields, and to the sky;
All bright and glittering in the smokeless air.
Never did sun more beautifully steep
In his first splendour, valley, rock, or hill;
Ne'er saw I, never felt, a calm so deep!
The river glideth at his own sweet will:
Dear God!The very houses seem asleep;
And all that mighty heart is lying still!
