第88章 威斯敏斯特大橋上

字體:16+-

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!
