I wandered lonely as a cloud 华兹华斯 英国诗人

I wandered lonely as a cloud



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.



--Written by William Wordsworth



我独游于天际，如一朵流云

凌空于谷峰，飘然然悠闲。

忽地，我看见了一群，

一簇簇金黄色的水仙；

看在树之荫，湖之缘，

在微风中，她们舞姿翩翩。



她们似银河星钻，连延不断，

碧银银，闪闪发光，

沿着湖湾的水缘线，

伸向无穷无尽的远方：

一瞥去便是一万朵，

轻舞中花首频颠簸。



波光里的涟漪也舞弄清影，却

怎比得水仙的欢快；

伴有这等喜悦，

诗人如何不快！

我久久凝视但毫无答复，

可知这景致给予我多少财富：



每当我久卧不眠，

心绪空荡，或忧思难抱，

她们便闪现在心田，

正如寂寥中的光照；

于是我的心儿满溢着欢畅，

同这群水仙起舞歌唱！
