The Wild Swans at Coole
|
柯尔的野天鹅
|
| The trees are in their autumn beauty, |
树林已着上美丽的秋色， |
| The woodland paths are dry, |
林间道路也不再阴湿， |
| Under the October twilight the water |
在十月的黄昏的光影下， |
| Mirror a still sky; |
水面有天空的镜像； |
| Upon the brimming water among the stones |
而在乱石间的溪流里 |
| Are nine-and-fifty swans. |
是九十五只天鹅。 |
| The nineteenth autumn has come upon me |
从我最初的屈指， |
| Since I first made my count; |
现在已是第十九个秋天， |
| I saw, before I had well finished, |
天鹅乍然飞起， |
| All suddenly mount |
飞起，在天空盘旋， |
| And scatter wheeling in great broken rings |
嘈杂的翅膀拍动的声音。 |
| Upon their clamorous wings. |
我曾欣赏过这些美丽的生灵， |
| I have looked upon those brilliant creatures, |
而现在我却倦了。 |
| And now my heart is sore. |
从我初次在这湖边的暮色里 |
| All's changed since I, hearing at twilight, |
蹑足倾听 |
| The first time on this shore, |
那翅膀的和声， |
| The bell-beat of their wings above my head, |
一切都已变了。 |
| Trod with a lighter tread. |
它们却还未倦，成双 |
| Unwearied still, lover by lover, |
在泠泠的溪涧里 |
| They paddle in the cold |
划行，或者飞升； |
| Companionable streams or climb the air; |
还是年轻的心啊，无论 |
| Their hearts have not grown old; |
漫游到了哪里， |
| Passion or conquest, wander where they will, |
仍有征服，仍有激情。 |
| Attend upon them still. |
现在，它们浮在平静的水面， |
| But now they drift on the still water, |
神秘、优雅； |
| Mysterious, beautiful; |
在怎样的水草间它们栖息？ |
| Among what rushes will they build, |
在怎样的湖边它们营筑？ |
| By what lake's edge or pool |
又怎样陶醉了我的眼睛， |
| Delight men's eyes when I awake some day |
在我哪天醒来 |
| To find they have flown away? |
目送它们飞远的时候？ |
