William Wordsworth - To the Cuckoo 汉译

O blithe newcomer! I have heard,

I hear thee and rejoice:

O Cuckoo! shall I call thee bird,

Or but a wandering Voice?

While I am lying on the grass

Thy twofold shout I hear;

From hill to hill it seems to pass,

At once far off and near.

Though babbling only to the vale

Of sunshine and of flowers,

Thou bringest unto me a tale

Of visionary hours.

Thrice welcome, darling of the Spring!

Even yet thou art to me

No bird, but an invisible thing,

A voice, a mystery;

The same whom in my schoolboy days

I listened to; that Cry

Which made me look a thousand ways

In bush, and tree, and sky.

To seek thee did I often rove

Through woods and on the green;

And thou wert still a hope, a love;

Still longed for, never seen!

And I can listen to thee yet;

Can lie upon the plain

And listen, till I do beget

That golden time again.

O blessed birth! the earth we pace

Again appears to be

An unsubstantial, fairy place,

That is fit home for Thee!

致杜鹃

欢畅的新客呵！我已经听到

你叫了，听了真快乐。

杜鹃呵！该把你叫作飞鸟，

或只是飘忽的音波？

我静静偃卧在青草地上，

听见你呼唤的双音；

这音响从山岗飞向山岗，

回旋在远远仅仅。

你只向山谷咕咕倾述，

咏赞阳光与花枝，

这歌声却仿佛向我讲述

如梦年华的故事。

春天的骄子！欢迎你，欢迎！

至今，我仍然觉得你

不是鸟，而是无形的精灵，

是音波，是一团神秘。

与童年听到的一模一样——

那时，你们的啼鸣

使我向林莽、树梢、天上

千百遍瞻望不停。

为了寻觅你，我多次游荡，

越过幽林和草地；

你是一种爱，一种希望，

被追寻，却不露形迹。

今天，我还能偃卧在草原，

静听着你的音乐，

直到我心底悠悠再现

往昔的黄金岁月。

吉祥的鸟儿呵！这大地沃野

如今，在我们脚下

仿佛又成了飘渺的仙界，

正宜于给你住家！
