秋頌

By+John+Keats

I

Seasons of mists and mellow fruitfulness，

Close bosom-friend of the maturing sun；

Conspiring with him how to load and bless

With fruit the vines that round the thatch-eves run；

To bend with apples the mossd cottage-trees，

And fill all fruit with ripeness to the core；

To swell the gourd， and plump the hazel shells

With a sweet kernel； to set budding more，

And still more， later flowers for the bees，

Until they think warm days will never cease，

For Summer has oer-brimmd their clammy cells.

II

Who hath not seen thee oft amid thy store？

Sometimes whoever seeks abroad may find

Thee sitting careless on a granary floor，

Thy hair soft-lifted by the winnowing wind；

Or on a half-reapd furrow sound asleep，

Drowsd with the fume of poppies， while thy hook

Spares the next swath and all its twined flowers.

And sometimes like a gleaner thou dost keep

Steady thy laden head across a brook；

Or by a cider-press， with patient look，

Thou watchest the last oozings hours by hours.

III

Where are the songs of Spring？ Ay， where are they？

Think not of them， thou hast thy music too，

While barred clouds bloom the soft-dying day，

And touch the stubble-plains with rosy hue；

Then in a wailful choir the small gnats mourn

Among the river shallows， borne aloft

Or sinking as the light wind lives or dies；

And full-grown lambs loud bleat from hilly bourn；

Hedge-crickets sing； and now with treble soft

The red-breast whistles from a garden-croft；

And gathering swallows twitter in the skies.

霧氣繚繞、果實(shí)累累的秋

你和驕陽結(jié)成密友。

你們籌劃用累累的珠球，

綴滿茅屋檐下的葡萄藤蔓；

使屋前的老樹背負(fù)著蘋果，

讓熟味透進(jìn)果實(shí)的果心；

使葫蘆脹大，鼓起了榛子殼，

好塞進(jìn)甜核；又為了蜜蜂

頻頻催開了過遲的花朵，

使它們以為日子將永遠(yuǎn)暖和，

因?yàn)橄募驹缣顫M它們的粘巢。

誰不經(jīng)?？匆娔惆橹葌}？

在田野里也可以把你找到，

你有時(shí)無憂無慮坐在打谷場(chǎng)上，

讓發(fā)絲隨著簸谷的風(fēng)輕飄；

有時(shí)候，為罌粟花香所沉迷，

酣臥在收割過半的田壟上，

讓鐮刀歇在下一畦的花旁；

或者，像拾穗人緩越小溪，

頭頂著滿滿的谷袋在走，

或者就在榨果架下坐幾個(gè)小時(shí)，

耐心地瞧著徐徐滴下的酒漿。

春日的歌哪里去了？?。∷鼈兡睦锶チ?？

但不要想這些吧，你也有你的秋聲，

當(dāng)夕陽透過云層映照暮天，

以胭紅抹上殘梗散碎的田野；

這時(shí)啊，河柳下的一群小飛蟲

就哼哼嗡嗡，它們忽而高飛，

忽而下落，隨著微風(fēng)的起落；

羊群在山圈里高聲默默咩叫；

籬下的蟋蟀在歌唱，在園中

紅胸的知更鳥群起呼哨；

叢飛的燕子在天空呢喃不歇。
