英语诗歌 Spring

Spring by Gerard Manley Hopkins

Nothing is so beautiful as Spring –

When weeds, in wheels, shoot long and lovely and lush;

Thrush’s eggs look little low heavens, and thrush

Through the echoing timber does so rinse and wring

The ear, it strikes like lightnings to hear him sing;

The glassy peartree leaves and blooms, they brush

The descending blue; that blue is all in a rush

With richness; the racing lambs too have fair their fling.

What is all this juice and all this joy?

A strain of the earth’s sweet being in the beginning

In Eden garden. – Have, get, before it cloy,

Before it cloud, Christ, lord, and sour with sinning,

Innocent mind and Mayday in girl and boy,

Most, O maid’s child, thy choice and worthy the winning.

春周琰 译

没有什么像春天这么美 —

当野草，长着轮子，绽放，修长、动人、盈盈；

画眉鸟的蛋仿佛小而低的天穹，而画眉

穿透回响的树林，洗涤并拧紧

耳朵，听到他歌唱就像闪电劈空；

晶亮的梨树叶子和繁花，它们

轻拂沉降的蓝，那蓝色一阵急奔

极为饱满；赛跑的绵羊也冲得漂亮。

所有这盈润所有这欢乐是什么？

大地美好的存在在开初

在伊甸园的些许。— 拥有，获得，在它餍足之前，

在它阴翳，在基督，主，因罪孽而变苦之前

天真的心灵，和女孩男孩的五月天，

最美，哦少女的孩子，你的选择和赢得的相称。
