詩歌:To Autumn 秋頌
To Autumn
John Keats
1
Season of mists and mellow fruitfulness,
Close bosom-friend of the maturing sun,
Conspiring with him how to load and bless
With fruit the vines that round the thatch-eves run;
To bend with apples the moss’d cottage-trees,
And fill all fruit with ripeness to the core;
To swell the gourd, and plump the hazel shells
With a sweet kernel; to set budding more,
And still more, later flowers for the bees,
Until they think warm days will never cease,
For Summer has o’er-brimm’d their clammy cells.
2
Who hath not seen thee oft amid thy store?
Sometimes whoever seeks abroad may find
Thee sitting careless on a granary floor,
Thy hair sort-lifted by the winnowing wind;
Or on a half-reap’d furrow sound asleep,
Dows’d with the fume of poppies, while thy hook
Spares the next swath and all its twined flowers.
And sometimes like a gleaner thou dost keep
Steady thy laden head across a brook;
Or by a cyder-press, with patient look,
Thou watchest the last oozings hours by hours.
3
Where are the songs of Spring? Ay, where are they?
Think not of them, thou hast thy music too,
While barred clouds bloom the soft-dying day,
And touch the stubble-plains with rosy hue;
Then in a waiful choir the small gnats mourn
Among the river sallows, borne aloft
Or sinking as the light wind lives or dies;
And full-grown lambs loud bleat from hilly bourn;
Hedge-crickets sing; and now with treble soft
The red-breast whistles form a garden-croft;
And gathering swallows twitter in the skies.
秋頌
約翰·濟慈

霧氣騰騰的季節，果實壘壘的時光，
催熟萬物，有把你當作摯友的太陽；
如何把福佑賜予大地，
你與他緊密協商：
讓檐下藤蔓爬遍，葡萄串串，
讓屋旁生苔老樹蘋果滿枝，熟透飄香；
讓榛子果仁香甜飽滿，
讓葫蘆肚皮滾圓鼓脹；
催動更多的蓓蕾不斷勃發，
驅使遲到的花朵爲蜜蜂綻放；
弄得蜂羣相信溫暖的日子永無窮盡，
因爲夏天早已讓蜂巢灌滿蜜漿。
2
誰不見你總是守候你的庫房？
席地而坐，你會陪伴糧倉。
走出門外人們擡眼尋找，
會發現揚場的風讓你髮絲飄蕩；
或者酣睡在收割中的田壟，
沉醉於罌粟花的馥郁芬芳，
只因野花夾雜其間，
你的鐮刀會放過一叢半行。
有時你似乎在拾起散落的莊稼，
跨過溪流，殘穗穩穩頂在頭上；
或者你久久不肯離開榨汁的機架，
把那滲出的果汁耐心凝望。
3
春天之歌在何方？啊，春天之歌在何方？
你也有你的音樂，不必爲此冥思苦想；
當細浪般的雲層映出柔和的夕照，
殘梗凌亂的田野抹上玫瑰色的霞光；
在那河邊的柳樹叢中，
小蟲一起把悲哀的曲調奏響，
時起時落，隨着輕風悠悠飄揚；
籬笆裏，蟋蟀同聲吟唱，
園中的知更鳥呼哨嘹亮；
山澗那邊長大的羊羔咩咩叫喚，
唧唧喳喳，空中的燕子羣集飛翔。
