Spring by Gerard Manley Hopkins
Nothing is so beautiful as Spring
When weeds, in wheels, shoot long and lovely and lush;
Thrushs eggs look little low heavens, and thrush
Through the echoing timber does so rinse1 and wring2
The ear, it strikes like lightnings to hear him sing;
The glassy peartree leaves and blooms, they brush
The descending3 blue; that blue is all in a rush
With richness; the racing4 lambs too have fair their fling.
What is all this juice and all this joy?
A strain of the earths sweet being in the beginning
In Eden garden. Have, get, before it cloy5,
Before it cloud, Christ, lord, and sour with sinning,
Innocent mind and Mayday in girl and boy,
Most, O maids child, thy choice and worthy6 the winning.
春周琰 译
没什么像春季这么美
当野草，长着轮子，绽放，修长、动人、盈盈；
画眉鸟的蛋仿佛小而低的天穹，而画眉
穿透回响的树林，洗涤并拧紧
耳朵，听到他歌唱就像闪电劈空；
晶亮的梨树叶子和繁花，它们
轻拂沉降的蓝，那蓝色一阵急奔
极为饱满；赛跑的绵羊也冲得漂亮。
所有这盈润所有这欢乐是什么？
大地美好的存在在开初
在伊甸园的些许。 拥有，获得，在它餍足之前，
在它阴翳，在基督，主，因罪孽而变苦之前
纯真无邪的心灵，和女生男生的5月天，
最好看的，哦少女的孩子，你的选择和取得的相称。
