致蝴蝶 (1)

威廉.华兹华斯  诗/黎历  译

留在我身边，不要飞走！

在我眼前更长些停留！

记录我童年的历史学家，

我要跟你多多交谈！

飞近些;不要离开我！

逝去的时光在你身上复活：

你带回那个像你一样快乐的小家伙！

我父亲的家庭，

一个庄严的形象铭记我心中！

哦！那时候是多么的幸福，快乐，

童年时的玩耍游戏，

就是我和妹妹埃梅琳

一起把蝴蝶追逐！

我像一个猎人，匆忙扑向猎物：

向前奔跑，跳跃，

越过蕨草丛又到了灌木;

可是妹妹，上帝保佑！却害怕

将蝴蝶翅膀上的银粉抖落。

To a Butterfly （I） by William Wordsworth (1770-1850)

Stay near me—do not take thy flight!
A little longer stay in sight!
Much converse do I find in thee,
Historian of my infancy!
Float near me; do not yet depart!
Dead times revive in thee:
Thou bring'st, gay creature as thou art!
A solemn image to my heart,
My father's family!

Oh! pleasant, pleasant were the days,
The time, when, in our childish plays,
My sister Emmeline and I
Together chased the butterfly!
A very hunter did I rush
Upon the prey:—with leaps and springs
I followed on from brake to bush;
But she, God love her! feared to brush
The dust from off its wings.
