Foresight
Foresight
by William Wordsworth
采花女That is work of waste and ruin--
Do as Charles and I are doing!
Strawberry-blossoms, one and all,
We must spare them--here are many:
Look at it--the flower is small,
Small and low, though fair as any:
Do not touch it! summers two
I am older, Anne, than you.
Pull the primrose, sister Anne!
Pull as many as you can.
--Here are daisies, take your fill;
Pansies, and the cuckoo-flower:
Of the lofty daffodil
Make your bed, or make your bower;
Fill your lap, and fill your bosom;
Only spare the strawberry-blossom!
Primroses, the Spring may love them--
Summer knows but little of them:
Violets, a barren kind,
Withered on the ground must lie;
Daisies leave no fruit behind
When the pretty flowerets die;
Pluck them, and another year
As many will be blowing here.
God has given a kindlier power
To the favoured strawberry-flower.
Hither soon as spring is fled
You and Charles and I will walk;
Lurking berries, ripe and red,
Then will hang on every stalk,
Each within its leafy bower;
And for that promise spare the flower!
預見
威廉·華茲華斯
別胡來，那是糟踐和摧殘，
瞧著我和查爾斯那樣干！
草莓花，都留下，
不要摘，不能掐；
你瞧她，不斗艷，不炫妖，
平凡的美好，淡樸的嬌嬈。
大家都不要動這花中的小小，
安妮，你小我兩歲，聽我忠告。
安妮妹妹，你不妨采櫻草，
摘吧，你要多少就采多少。
這里有雛菊，任你采個夠，
三色堇、剪秋羅，兩樣都有。
還可以用那纖長的水仙，
把你的閨房和枕席裝點。
擷之盈你袖，采之滿你懷，
除卻草莓花，別的任你采。
櫻草報春春所愛，
夏天一來漸衰敗。
有花無子紫羅蘭，
飄零委地自凋殘。
雛菊小花謝落時，
不會留下啥果實。
這些任采不相干，
明年又有花爛熳。
草莓花為上天所鐘愛，
身上更有雅意溫情在。
很快就難覓春天蹤跡，
你我查爾斯再來這里，
有紅熟草莓欲露還藏，
垂綴在株株的花梗上，
在密密的枝葉里掩映，
莫動，為明天這般美景！
