I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud
我孤独地漫游，像一朵云
William Wordsworth · 威廉·华兹华斯
I wandered lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o'er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host, of golden daffodils;
Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.
Continuous as the stars that shine
And twinkle on the milky way,
They stretched in never-ending line
Along the margin of a bay:
Ten thousand saw I at a glance,
Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.
The waves beside them danced; but they
Out-did the sparkling waves in glee:
A poet could not but be gay,
In such a jocund company:
I gazed—and gazed—but little thought
What wealth the show to me had brought:
For oft, when on my couch I lie
In vacant or in pensive mood,
They flash upon that inward eye
Which is the bliss of solitude;
And then my heart with pleasure fills,
And dances with the daffodils.
我孤独地漫游，像一朵云，
高高飘过山谷与丘陵，
忽然间，我看见一片，
一群金灿灿的水仙；
湖畔、树下，
随风摇曳，翩翩起舞。
连绵如银河中
闪烁的繁星，
它们延伸成无尽的一线，
沿着湖湾的边缘：
一眼望去有千万朵，
欢快地摇摆着头。
身旁的波浪也在起舞；但它们
比闪光的波浪更欢畅：
诗人又怎能不心旷神怡，
身处如此快活的伙伴之间：
我凝视着——凝视着——却不曾想
这景象带给我多少财富：
因为每当我躺在沙发上，
百无聊赖或若有所思，
它们便闪过我心灵的眼眸，
那正是独处时的至福；
我的心便充盈着欢愉，
与水仙一同起舞。
华兹华斯最著名的自然诗，1804年写于湖区。一朵云与一片水仙的相遇，成为英语文学中最纯粹的快乐时刻。
