Upon Westminster Bridge

[英]威廉·华兹华斯

William Wordsworth

大地展露出从未有过的壮丽景象:

它庄严而辉煌,

任何人走过都会惊叹。

城市沐浴着瑰丽的晨光,

犹如身披一袭霓裳,清新而安详。

那些船舶、尖塔、穹顶、剧院与教堂,

直伸向绿野,伸向蓝天;

都在澄碧的天宇下闪耀着光芒。

太阳从未将这美丽的晨曦

披于岩石,播在峡谷,洒上山梁,

我从未看过,也未感受过这般静谧!

河水自由自在地缓缓流淌:

亲爱的主啊,似乎千家万户仍在安睡,

那颗伟大的心也在静静地休憩!

Earth has not anything to show more fair:

Dull would he be of soul who could pass by

A sight so touching in its majesty:

This City now doth, like a garment, wear

The beauty of the morning;silent, bare,

Ships, towers, domes, theatres, and temples lie

Open unto the fields, and to the sky;

All bright and glittering in the smokeless air.

Never did sun more beautifully steep

In his first splendour, valley, rock, or hill;

Ne'er saw I, never felt, a calm so deep!

The river glideth at his own sweet will:

Dear God!The very houses seem asleep;

And all that mighty heart is lying still!
