To the Same Flower
To the Same Flower
by William Wordsworth
With little here to do or see
Of things that in the great world be,
Daisy! again I talk to thee,
For thou art worthy,
Thou unassuming Common-place
Of Nature, with that homely face,
And yet with something of a grace,
Which Love makes for thee!
Oft on the dappled turf at ease
I sit, and play with similies,
Loose types of things through all degrees,
Thoughts of thy raising:
And many a fond and idle name
I give to thee, for praise or blame,
As is the humour of the game,
While I am gazing.
A nun demure of lowly port;
Or sprightly maiden, of Love's court,
In thy simplicity the sport
Of all temptations;
A queen in crown of rubies drest;
A starveling in a scanty vest;
Are all, as seems to suit thee best,
Thy appellations.
A little cyclops, with one eye
Staring to threaten and defy,
That thought comes next--and instantly
The freak is over,
The shape will vanish--and behold
A silver shield with boss of gold,
That spreads itself, some faery bold
In fight to cover!
I see thee glittering from afar--
And then thou art a pretty star;
Not quite so fair as many are
In heaven above thee!
Yet like a star, with glittering crest,
Self-poised in air thou seem'st to rest;--
May peace come never to his nest,
Who shall reprove thee!
Bright 'Flower'! for by that name at last,
When all my reveries are past,
I call thee, and to that cleave fast,
Sweet silent creature!
That breath'st with me in sun and air,
Do thou, as thou art wont, repair
My heart with gladness, and a share
Of thy meek nature!
給雛菊
屠岸 譯
在這個大千世界里，既然
我無事可做，沒什么可看，
雛菊啊！我又來和你閑談，
你聽我談話最相宜；
你呵，大自然平凡的產兒，
心地謙遜，面容樸實，
卻又帶點兒優美雅致——
愛心給你的贈禮！
我常在綴滿花朵的草地，
悠閑地坐著，用比喻作游戲，
用無拘無束的各類標記——
由你引起的聯想；
我給你起了多少個親呢、
無謂的名字，稱贊你，責備你，
這是我來了興致，老脾氣——
而我正對著你凝望。
嫻靜的修女，舉止謙卑；
活潑的侍女，在愛神的宮闈，
天真無邪的少女，因而被
種種誘惑所愚弄；
頭戴寶石金冠的女王；
衣衫單薄，餓瘦的兒郎；
這些是給你的名稱，好象
對你全都挺適用。
小小的賽克洛，獨眼圓睜，
正發出威脅，公然抗命——
這想法出現，只有一瞬，
怪念頭一閃而逝，
那形象會消失，可是，看！
一面盾，銀盾的金飾鼓鼓圓，
自己張開，庇護著廝殺間
無比勇敢的小仙子。
我看見你在遠處亮晶晶——
你變成一顆漂亮的小星星，
雖然不如天上的一群群
星辰那樣燦爛！
仍然象顆星，羽冠在閃爍，
你亭亭玉立，安閑自若；——
誰要是呵斥你，但愿這家伙
永遠得不到平安！
可愛的花兒！夢幻的遐思
過去了，我終于用這個名字
呼喚你，而且要永遠堅持，
安靜可愛的生靈！
陽光下，大氣中，你跟我同呼吸，
請一如往常，給我以欣喜，
讓我分享你溫良的心地，
這樣來醫治我的心！
