Composed by the Side of Grasmere Lake

Clouds, lingering yet, extend in solid bars
Through the grey west; and lo! these waters, steeled
By breezeless air to smoothest polish, yield
A vivid repetition of the stars;
Jove, Venus, and the ruddy crest of Mars
Amid his fellows beauteously revealed
At happy distance from earth's groaning field,
Where ruthless mortals wage incessant wars.
Is it a mirror?--or the nether Sphere
Opening to view the abyss in which she feeds
Her own calm fires?--But list! a voice is near;
Great Pan himself low-whispering through the reeds,
"Be thankful, thou; for, if unholy deeds
Ravage the world, tranquillity is here!"

格拉斯米尔湖畔

  威廉·华兹华斯

一道道浓滞的云，
在灰暗的西方延伸；
噢，这涟漪不兴的湖镜
却生动地再现星辰。
木星、金星和金冠的火星
在同伴中妍姿秀气，占尽风情。
远离这呻吟的大地——
残忍的人们在上面战伐不停。
这是面明镜，还是阴间在展现
它燃着冷焰的深渊？
但你听，一个声音就在附近，
潘恩正用芦笛低唱微吟：
“感恩吧，人们，恶行如把大地蹂躏，
这里就是安静的栖隐。”
