James Russell Lowell - The Fountain 汉译

Into the sunshine,<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

Full of the light,

Leaping and flashing

From morn till night!

 

Into the moonlight,

Whiter than snow,

Waving so flower-like

When the winds blow!

 

Into the starlight,

Rushing in spray,

Happy at midnight,

Happy by day!

 

Ever in motion,

Blithesome and cheery,

Still climbing heavenward,

Never aweary:

 

Glad of all weathers,

Still seeming best,

Upward or downward,

Motion thy rest;

 

Full of a nature

Nothing can tame,

Changed every moment,

Ever the same;

 

Ceaseless aspiring,

Ceaseless content,

Darkness or sunshine

Thy element;

 

Glorious fountain,

Let my heart be

Fresh, changeful, constant,

Upward, like thee!
