ODE: INTIMATIONS OF IMMORTALITY FROM RECOLLECTIONS
OF EARLY CHILDHOOD

原文與注釋(Text and Annotation): XI

11. (Summary)
And O ye Fountains, Meadows, Hills, and Groves,  
Forebode not any severing of our loves!
190
Yet in my heart of hearts I feel your might;
I only have relinquished one delight
To live beneath your more habitual sway.
I love the Brooks which down their channels fret,
Even more than when I tripp'd lightly as they;
195
The innocent brightness of a new-born Day  
            Is lovely yet;  
The clouds that gather round the setting sun  
Do take a sober colouring from an eye
That hath kept watch o'er man's mortality;
200
Another race hath been, and other palms are won.
Thanks to the human heart by which we live,  
Thanks to its tenderness, its joys, and fears,  
To me the meanest flower that blows can give
Thoughts that do often lie too deep for tears.
205

第十一節大意:不,我仍然像往常一樣的喜愛自然,甚至還有過之。雖然我的喜愛已經受過了人世變幻無常的歷練。這種經驗使我能夠更深一層的看到自然的真義。即使大自然中最卑微的事物都可以激起我最深的感動。[back]
