译华兹华斯《可怜苏珊的遐想》

落阡

可怜苏珊的遐想

在树林街角，当天色破晓，
挂着一只高歌的画眉，唱了三年：
可怜的苏珊经过这里，在清早的
沉寂中听到了这鸟鸣。

鸟歌迷人；她为何痛苦？她看到
一座山峦高耸，一片树木乍现；
明亮的雾滑过洛斯布森林，
一条溪水流经锲普赛德幽谷。

她看到谷中葱茏的牧场，
她常跌跌绊绊，提着水桶跑下去；
一间单独的小屋，像鸽子的巢，
世上她唯一爱的住所。

她看着，心宛在天堂：但它们消隐，
云与溪流，山与林荫；
溪水不再流淌，山岭不再耸立，
所有色彩都从她眼中消逝！

The Reverie of Poor Susan

At the corner of Wood Street，when daylight appears，
Hangs a Thrush that sings loud，it has sung for three years:
Poor Susan has passed by the spot，and has heard
In the silence of morning the song of the Bird.

‘Tis a note of enchantment；what ails her? She sees
A mountain ascending，a vision of trees；
Bright volumes of vapour through Lothbury glide，
And a river flows on through the vale of Cheapside.

Green pastures she views in the midst of the dale，
Down which she so often has tripped with her pail；
And a single small cottage，a nest like a dove’s，
The one only dwelling on earth that she loves.

She looks，and her heart is in heaven: but they fade，
The mist and the river，the hill and the shade:
The stream will not flow，and the hill will not rise，
And the colours have all passed away from her eyes!
