[诗歌]青春的骄傲
华尔德·司各特
Proud Maisie is in the wood,
Walking so early;
Sweet Robin sits on the bush,
Singing so rarely.
“tell me ,thou bonny bird,
when shall I marry me?”
-“when six braw gentlemen
kirkward shall carry ye.”
“who makes the bridal bed,
birdie, say truly?”
-“The gray-headed sexton
That delves the grave duly.
“The glowworm o’er grave and stone
Shall light thee steady;
The owl from the steeple sing,
Welcome, proud lady.”
骄傲的梅西漫步林间,
踩着晨曦;
伶俐的知更鸟栖息树丛,
唱得甜蜜。
“告诉我,美丽的鸟儿,
我哪年哪月穿嫁装?”--
“等到六个殡葬人
抬你上教堂。”
“谁为我铺新床?
好鸟儿,莫撒谎。”--
“白发司事,兼挖墓穴,
误不了你的洞房。”
“萤火虫幽幽闪闪,
把你的坟墓照亮,送葬,
猫头鹰将在塔尖高唱:
欢迎你,骄傲的姑娘。”

春天 Spring
威廉·布莱克是十九世纪英国浪漫派诗人,主要诗作有诗集《天真之歌》、《经验之歌》等。早期作品简洁明快,中后期作品趋向玄妙晦涩,充满神秘色彩。本诗选自《天真之歌》。春天来了,万物复苏。这表现在动物的活动上:鸟儿欢腾,公鸡鸣叫,云雀在天上翻飞,夜莺在山谷间歌唱;也...
