A Night-Piece
A Night-Piece
by William Wordsworth
A Night-Piece——The sky is overcast
With a continuous cloud of texture close,
Heavy and wan, all whitened by the Moon,
Which through that veil is indistinctly seen,
A dull, contracted circle, yielding light
So feebly spread, that not a shadow falls,
Chequering the ground--from rock, plant, tree, or tower.
At length a pleasant instantaneous gleam
Startles the pensive traveller while he treads
His lonesome path, with unobserving eye
Bent earthwards; he looks up--the clouds are split
Asunder,--and above his head he sees
The clear Moon, and the glory of the heavens.
There, in a black-blue vault she sails along,
Followed by multitudes of stars, that, small
And sharp, and bright, along the dark abyss
Drive as she drives: how fast they wheel away,
Yet vanish not!--the wind is in the tree,
But they are silent;--still they roll along
Immeasurably distant; and the vault,
Built round by those white clouds, enormous clouds,
Still deepens its unfathomable depth.
At length the Vision closes; and the mind,
Not undisturbed by the delight it feels,
Which slowly settles into peaceful calm,
Is left to muse upon the solemn scene.
夜想曲
威廉·華茲華斯
A Night-Piece天黯黯，
密密沉沉云一片，
借得月華增慘淡；
月姊面紗未挽，隱約難覷云鬟，
暖暖圓輪猶小小，
柔輝弱，難自樓臺樹木山巖
把姍姍碎影，投與大地人間。
視而不見，俯首沉吟，
游子獨行幽徑；
驀然驚，
一時光影分明。
九霄眼碧，
月姊眉清，
似把明帆高掛，
駛過浩蕩青冥；
追隨急，閃爍萬顆小明星，
相伴疾弛而去，非消隱，
分明天上熒熒。
此時風在樹間，星雖靜，
依然舞，回旋萬里途程；
更有巨云垂四野，環護如城，
遂覺蒼天浩渺，深邃莫明。
畢竟難留倩影，頓時又失幽清，
歡心動后有余情，
漸消凝，意亦平；
意平心靜細思量，
思量無限莊嚴景象。
