To the Same Flower

To the Same Flower

   by William Wordsworth

With little here to do or see
Of things that in the great world be,
Daisy! again I talk to thee,
For thou art worthy,
Thou unassuming Common-place
Of Nature, with that homely face,
And yet with something of a grace,
Which Love makes for thee!

Oft on the dappled turf at ease
I sit, and play with similies,
Loose types of things through all degrees,
Thoughts of thy raising:
And many a fond and idle name
I give to thee, for praise or blame,
As is the humour of the game,
While I am gazing.

A nun demure of lowly port;
Or sprightly maiden, of Love's court,
In thy simplicity the sport
Of all temptations;
A queen in crown of rubies drest;
A starveling in a scanty vest;
Are all, as seems to suit thee best,
Thy appellations.

A little cyclops, with one eye
Staring to threaten and defy,
That thought comes next--and instantly
The freak is over,
The shape will vanish--and behold
A silver shield with boss of gold,
That spreads itself, some faery bold
In fight to cover!

I see thee glittering from afar--
And then thou art a pretty star;
Not quite so fair as many are
In heaven above thee!
Yet like a star, with glittering crest,
Self-poised in air thou seem'st to rest;--
May peace come never to his nest,
Who shall reprove thee!

Bright 'Flower'! for by that name at last,
When all my reveries are past,
I call thee, and to that cleave fast,
Sweet silent creature!
That breath'st with me in sun and air,
Do thou, as thou art wont, repair
My heart with gladness, and a share
Of thy meek nature!

给雏菊

  屠岸 译

在这个大千世界里，既然
我无事可做，没什么可看，
雏菊啊！我又来和你闲谈，
你听我谈话最相宜；
你呵，大自然平凡的产儿，
心地谦逊，面容朴实，
却又带点儿优美雅致——
爱心给你的赠礼！

我常在缀满花朵的草地，
悠闲地坐着，用比喻作游戏，
用无拘无束的各类标记——
由你引起的联想；
我给你起了多少个亲呢、
无谓的名字，称赞你，责备你，
这是我来了兴致，老脾气——
而我正对着你凝望。

娴静的修女，举止谦卑；
活泼的侍女，在爱神的宫闱，
天真无邪的少女，因而被
种种诱惑所愚弄；
头戴宝石金冠的女王；
衣衫单薄，饿瘦的儿郎；
这些是给你的名称，好象
对你全都挺适用。

小小的赛克洛，独眼圆睁，
正发出威胁，公然抗命——
这想法出现，只有一瞬，
怪念头一闪而逝，
那形象会消失，可是，看！
一面盾，银盾的金饰鼓鼓圆，
自己张开，庇护着厮杀间
无比勇敢的小仙子。

我看见你在远处亮晶晶——
你变成一颗漂亮的小星星，
虽然不如天上的一群群
星辰那样灿烂！
仍然象颗星，羽冠在闪烁，
你亭亭玉立，安闲自若；——
谁要是呵斥你，但愿这家伙
永远得不到平安！

可爱的花儿！梦幻的遐思
过去了，我终于用这个名字
呼唤你，而且要永远坚持，
安静可爱的生灵！
阳光下，大气中，你跟我同呼吸，
请一如往常，给我以欣喜，
让我分享你温良的心地，
这样来医治我的心！
