Lines Written in Early Spring

William Wordsworth

佚 名（译）

I heard a thousand blended notes,While in a grove I sate reclined,In that sweet mood when pleasant thoughts Bring sad thoughts to the mind.

我躺卧在树林之中，听着融谐的千万声音，闲适的情绪，愉快的思想，却带来了忧心忡忡。

To her fair works did Nature link The human soul that through me ran;And much it grieved my heart to think What man has made of man.

大自然把她的美好事物通过我联系人的灵魂，而我痛心万分，想起了人怎样对待着人。

Through primrose tufts,in that green bower,The periwinkle trailed its wreaths;And'tis my faith that every flower Enjoys the air it breathes.

那边绿荫中的樱草花丛，有长春花在把花圈编织，我深信每朵花不论大小，都能享受它呼吸的空气。

The birds around me hopped and played,Their thoughts I cannot measure: —But the least motion which they made It seemed a thrill of pleasure.

四围的鸟儿跳了又耍，我不知道它们想些什么，但它们每个细微的动作，似乎都激起心头的欢乐。

The budding twigs spread out their fan,To catch the breezy air;And I must think, do all I can,That there was pleasure there.

萌芽的嫩枝张臂如扇，捕捉那阵阵的清风，使我没法不深切地感到，它们也自有欢欣，

If this belief from heaven be sent,If such be Nature's holy plan,Have I not reason to lament What man has made of man?

如果上天叫我这样相信，如果这是大自然的用心，难道我没有理由悲叹人怎样对待着人？

威廉·华兹华斯(William Wordsworth，1770—1850)是“湖畔派”诗人的重要代表。华兹华斯关于自然的诗歌，优美动人，其突出特点就是寓情于景，情景交融。这首《写于早春》诗风清丽而略含忧伤。诗人用细腻轻柔的语言描写自然的和谐与欢乐，鲜花、鸟雀、嫩芽，这些最细微的自然之景在诗人笔下是如此曼妙美好。然而如果早春的情愫仅仅是欢畅，固然美丽，却也未免单薄。诗人在早春的思想里，沟通了自然与灵魂；从万物的欢乐中，诗人想到了人间的痛苦和悲伤，诗中充满控诉的无奈。
