To a Butterfly
To a Butterfly
by William Wordsworth
Stay near me--do not take thy flight!
A little longer stay in sight!
Much converse do I find in thee,
Historian of my infancy!
Float near me; do not yet depart!
Dead times revive in thee:
Thou bring'st, gay creature as thou art!
A solemn image to my heart,
My father's family!
Oh! pleasant, pleasant were the days,
The time, when, in our childish plays,
My sister Emmeline and I
Together chased the butterfly!
A very hunter did I rush
Upon the prey:--with leaps and springs
I followed on from brake to bush;
But she, God love her, feared to brush
The dust from off its wings.
给蝴蝶
威廉·华兹华斯
Butterfly请多留一会儿，不要飞开！
就在我眼前飞去飞来！
我从你那里找到不少共鸣，
我童年历史的见证人；
就在我近旁飘舞吧，不要远离！
逝去的岁月在你身上重现，
蝴蝶啊！你这快乐的小东西，
你给我带来一个庄严的情景——
我父亲一家的形影。
啊，欢乐，那些日子多么欢乐！
当时，妹妹艾米琳和我，
我们玩着孩子的游戏，
追扑蝴蝶——我俩总在一起。
象一个地道的猎人
冲向猎物，我连蹦带跳，
从树丛赶到树丛；可是艾米琳，
上帝保佑！她生怕擦掉
蝴蝶翅膀上的银粉。
