I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud

                    《咏水仙》

     William Wordsworth

从常州回来后，不久又去了南京、苏州、上海，分别考察南师大新传院、苏州大学凤凰传媒学院、上海大学及华东师大的广播电视实验室，为建设好我们的广播电视新闻学实验中心作前期的论证。因为明天上午有课，今天匆匆从上海赶回。明天要讲华兹华斯的诗歌，这也是我最爱讲的一个主题。每次讲授这位湖区诗人，我似乎又回到了湖区的湖光山色当中。以下是要求我的学生背诵的篇目。

I wandered lonely as a cloud

That floats on high o’ver vales and hills,

When all at once I saw a crowd,

A host, of golden daffodils,

Beside the lake, beneath the trees,

Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.

Continuous as the stars that shines

And twinkle on the milk way,

They stretche’d in never-ending line

Along the margin of a bay:

Ten thousand saw I at a glance

Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.

The waves beside them danced, but they

Out-did the sparkling waves in glee:--

A poet could not but be gay

In such a jocund company!

I gazed—and gazed—but little thought

What wealth the show to me had brought:

For oft when on my couch I lie

In vacant or in pensive mood,

They flash upon that inward eye

Which is the bliss of solitude;

And then my heart with pleasure fills

And dance with the daffodils.

 
湖区的水仙。

湖区的水，华兹华斯诗歌的源泉。

湖区的民居，想华兹华斯的诗歌一样质朴。

 我在华兹华斯的家乡——湖区。
