Yes, It Was the Mountain Echo
Yes, It Was the Mountain Echo
by William Wordsworth
Yes, It Wwas the Mountain EchoYes, it was the mountain Echo,
Solitary, clear, profound,
Answering to the shouting Cuckoo,
Giving to her sound for sound!
Unsolicited reply
To a babbling wanderer sent;
Like her ordinary cry,
Like--but oh, how different!
Hears not also mortal Life?
Hear not we, unthinking Creatures!
Slaves of folly, love, or strife--
Voices of two different natures?
Have not 'we' too?--yes, we have
Answers, and we know not whence;
Echoes from beyond the grave,
Recognised intelligence!
Such rebounds our inward ear
Catches sometimes from afar--
Listen, ponder, hold them dear;
For of God,--of God they are.
山的回音
威廉·華茲華斯
Yes, It Wwas the Mountain Echo對了，這是山的回音，
孤獨、清晰、深沉；
回答杜鵑的歌吟，
聲對聲，韻對韻。
是不索自來的答復，
擲給喋喋的漂泊者，
仿佛她尋常的啼呼，
同耶？異耶？——同中有大別！
是否世間凡耳已細聽分明？
渾渾噩噩的我們依然混沌。
溺于愚行、欲海以及紛爭，
兩種聲音我們相雜不分？
我們沒得到回答？——不，
得到了，但不知來自何地；
啊是回聲，來自遠處的墓，
已得到確認的智慧信息！
從很遙遠的地方，有時歷歷
回音落入我們心靈的耳朵，
諦聽吧、沉思吧，永遠珍惜；
那是天籟，天籟云間為我落。
