The Green Linnet
The Green Linnet
by William Wordsworth
Beneath these fruit-tree boughs that shed
Their snow-white blossoms on my head,
With brightest sunshine round me spread
Of spring's unclouded weather,
In this sequestered nook how sweet
To sit upon my orchard-seat!
And birds and flowers once more to greet,
My last year's friends together.
One have I marked, the happiest guest
In all this covert of the blest:
Hail to Thee, far above the rest
In joy of voice and pinion!
Thou, Linnet! in thy green array,
Presiding Spirit here to-day,
Dost lead the revels of the May;
And this is thy dominion.
While birds, and butterflies, and flowers,
Make all one band of paramours,
Thou, ranging up and down the bowers,
Art sole in thy employment:
A Life, a Presence like the Air,
Scattering thy gladness without care,
Too blest with any one to pair;
Thyself thy own enjoyment.
Amid yon tuft of hazel trees,
That twinkle to the gusty breeze,
Behold him perched in ecstasies,
Yet seeming still to hover;
There! where the flutter of his wings
Upon his back and body flings
Shadows and sunny glimmerings,
That cover him all over.
My dazzled sight he oft deceives,
A Brother of the dancing leaves;
Then flits, and from the cottage-eaves
Pours forth his song in gushes;
As if by that exulting strain
He mocked and treated with disdain
The voiceless Form he chose to feign,
While fluttering in the bushes.
綠山雀
威廉?華茲華斯
在果樹繁枝密葉的下方，
雪白的花瓣落到我頭上，
周遭是一片耀眼的陽光，
春日里，晴朗和煦；
多美呀，在這隱僻的角落，
在我家果園椅子上獨坐，
又一次歡迎鳥兒和花朵，
去年的舊侶又重聚！
這幸福生靈聚會的所在，
有一位小客人最為歡快：
甜美的歌喉，翎毛的華彩，
勝過所有的羽族；
歡迎你，山雀！你披著綠衫，
今天，你是這里的指揮官，
是你導演著五月的狂歡，
這里是你的領土！
春花朵朵，蝴蝶，鳴禽，
全都配成了一對對情人；
而你，來回游息于綠蔭，
總是孤零零一個；
這生命，這精靈，象空氣一樣，
散布著歡樂，不知有憂傷，
你太幸運了，誰也配不上；
自個兒自得其樂！
微風里，榛樹叢光影搖曳，
樹叢間，瞧得見棲息的山雀，
它靜立枝頭，滿心歡悅，
仿佛還想要飛升；
它飛起來了！拍著翅膀，
讓縷縷陰影，閃閃陽光
灑在它頭上，灑在它背上，
灑遍了它的周身！
它常常弄得我眼花撩亂，
錯把它看成綠葉一片；
驀然，它飛上田舍屋檐，
傾吐出滔滔歌曲；
它那琳漓暢快的歌詠，
仿佛是取笑，仿佛是嘲弄：
笑它自己方才在樹叢
裝啞巴，悄然無語。
（楊德豫 譯）
