〈一群展着翅的詩人在世上被尋見〉 威廉·華茲華斯（試譯：淺白）
一群展着翅的詩人在世上被尋見，
彼等，當諂媚的輕風繞着他們玩時，
將黏土巢掛在那一個個「制高點」；
是掉得多快，一下子自那空蘯處鬆脫
跌墜成遺忘的塵土！大自然堅實的地面
有志於建造恆久的心靈，將向其信託：
──深信在那，只有在那，她能得着
穩實的基礎。而隨時間年復年的流轉，
單獨地，她在她那揀定的圓圈裏勞作；
當星辰熠熠閃爍，或日間的紫眸
正隨春日的雜花柔然斂合；
那兒，甚至連天使翅膀的一下動靜
也會打斷那份顫顫激邃的沉默──
自靜寂的山群，和那比靜更深的天。

A Volant Tribe Of Bards On Earth Are Found
By William Wordsworth
A volant Tribe of Bards on earth are found,
Who, while the flattering Zephyrs round them play,
On “coignes of vantage” hang their nests of clay;
How quickly from that aery hold unbound,
Dust for oblivion! To the solid ground
Of nature trusts the Mind that builds for aye;
Convinced that there, there only, she can lay
Secure foundations. As the year runs round,
Apart she toils within the chosen ring;
While the stars shine, or while day’s purple eye
Is gently closing with the flowers of spring;
Where even the motion of an Angel’s wing
Would interrupt the intense tranquility
Of silent hills, and more than silent sky.
