There Is a Little Unpretending Rill
There Is a Little Unpretending Rill
by William Wordsworth
There Is a Little Unpretending RillThere a little unpretending Rill
Of limpid water, humbler far than aught
That ever among Men or Naiads sought
Notice or name!--It quivers down the hill,
Furrowing its shallow way with dubious will;
Yet to my mind this scanty Stream is brought
Oftener than Ganges or the Nile; a thought
Of private recollection sweet and still!
Months perish with their moons; year treads on year!
But, faithful Emma! thou with me canst say
That, while ten thousand pleasures disappear,
And flies their memory fast almost as they;
The immortal Spirit of one happy day
Lingers beside that Rill, in vision clear.
有一条小河素不自夸
威廉·华兹华斯
有一条小河素来不自夸自许，
水清清，比任何向凡人或天仙
沽名钓誉的河溪都显得卑谦；
她闪动着从山间向下面倾注，
浅而缓的水像流得有点迟疑。
但这条清浅的小河往我心间，
比起恒河或者尼罗河的波澜，
带来更静默甘美的幽独回忆。
月圆月缺，花开花落，流年多少！
但忠诚的艾玛，你和我可以讲，
纵使千般乐事都如云烟杳杳，
甚至难于把残碎踪迹来追想，
但一个快乐日子的不朽影象，
还徘徊在河边，秀朗而佳妙。
