威廉·华兹华斯：我似流云天自游

 　　I wandered lonely as a cloud

　　我独游于天际，如一朵流云

　　That floats on high o'er vales and hills,

　　凌空于谷峰，飘然然悠闲。

　　When all at once I saw a crowd,

　　忽地，我看见了一群，

　　A host, of golden daffodils;

　　一簇簇金黄色的水仙；

　　Beside the lake, beneath the trees,

　　看在树之荫，湖之缘，

　　Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.

　　在微风中，她们舞姿翩翩。

　　Continuous as the stars that shine

　　她们似银河星钻，连延不断，

　　And twinkle on the milky¹ way,

　　碧银银，闪闪发光，

　　They stretched in never-ending line

　　沿着湖湾的水缘线，

　　Along the margin² of a bay:

　　伸向无穷无尽的远方：

　　Ten thousand saw I at a glance,

　　一瞥去便是一万朵，

　　Tossing their heads in sprightly³ dance.

　　轻舞中花首频颠簸。

　　The waves beside them danced; but they

　　波光里的涟漪也舞弄清影，却

　　Out-did the sparkling waves in glee:

　　怎比得水仙的欢快；

　　A poet could not but be gay,

　　伴有这等喜悦，

　　In such a jocund⁴ company:

　　诗人如何不快！

　　I gazed--and gazed--but little thought

　　我久久凝视但毫无答复，

　　What wealth the show to me had brought:

　　可知这景致给予我多少财富：

　　For oft, when on my couch I lie

　　每当我久卧不眠，

　　In vacant or in pensive⁵ mood,

　　心绪空荡，或忧思难抱，

　　They flash upon that inward eye

　　她们便闪现在心田，

　　Which is the bliss⁶ of solitude⁷;

　　正如寂寥中的光照；

　　And then my heart with pleasure fills,

　　于是我的心儿满溢着欢畅，

　　And dances with the daffodils.

　　同这群水仙起舞歌唱！
