春天

G M. 霍普金斯作 傅正明译

春天是最美的季节 －－

当一年一度莺飞草长，绿遍原野，

一个个鸟蛋像小小天国，

鸫鸟掠过空谷传响的树丛，轻捷

如闪电惊起我们聆听，声声入耳；

那明媚的梨树绽开花蕾新蘖，

由远而近刷出蓝天淡云，蓦然间

一片浓艳，可爱的羊羔在草地跳跃！

万物的琼浆和愉悦究竟是什厶？

是伊甸园肇始的大地的甜美音乐。

－－ 在它变腻之前，尽情地唱吧跳吧，

在混浊发酸之前，基督我主，请赦免罪孽，

那无辜的心灵和男欢女笑的五月节，

啊，童真的孩子，你们的选择值得奖掖。

           1918年

Spring

BY GERARD MANLEY HOPKINS

Nothing is so beautiful as Spring ˉ          

   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. ˉ 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.
