To a Snowdrop
To a Snowdrop
by William Wordsworth
To a SnowdropLone Flower, hemmed in with snows and white as they
But hardier far, once more I see thee bend
Thy forehead, as if fearful to offend,
Like an unbidden guest. Though day by day,
Storms, sallying from the mountain-tops, waylay
The rising sun, and on the plains descend;
Yet art thou welcome, welcome as a friend
Whose zeal outruns his promise! Blue-eyed May
Shall soon behold this border thickly set
With bright jonquils, their odours lavishing
On the soft west-wind and his frolic peers;
Nor will I then thy modest grace forget,
Chaste Snowdrop, venturous harbinger of Spring,
And pensive monitor of fleeting years!
致雪蓮
威廉·華茲華斯
孤峭的花，雪抱擁你，你雪一般白，
但遠比雪剛毅；我又一次看見你，
眉黛低垂，仿佛怕舉止不夠得體；
像一位客人的困擾，因不請自來。
但天天風暴席卷峰頂而下，遮蓋
升起的太陽，橫掃莽莽平原千里；
你卻風致可人，總那樣宜情合意，
像一位良朋有超出許諾的情懷。
藍眼的五月不久將看見這邊陲
有照眼的水仙簇簇，把芬芳馥郁
慷慨憎與溫柔西風和他的朋侶；
那時我仍會記住你的綽約低徊，
貞潔的雪蓮啊，春天的勇敢先驅，
你深沉告誡人們莫把流年虛度！
（謝耀文譯）
