屠岸 译

Great spirits now on earth are sojourning;
He of the cloud, the cataract, the lake,
Who on Helvellyn’s summit, wide awake,
Catches his freshness from Archange’s wing:

几个伟大的灵魂寄寓在大地上；
一个属于云彩，湖泊，急湍，
精神抖擞， 在赫尔韦林山巅，
从天使的翅膀取得常新的力量；

He of the rose, the violet, the spring,
The social smile, the chain for Freedom’s sake:
And lo!- whose stedfastness would never take
A meaner sound than Raphael’s whispering.

一个属于玫瑰， 紫罗兰，春光，
友好地微笑， 为自由而身系铁链，
看啊！他如此坚定， 决不采选
一声低于拉斐尔耳语的音响。

And other spirits there are standing apart
Upon the forehead of the age to come;
These, these will give the world another heart,

还有另一些灵魂站在一旁，
站在属于未来时代的额前；
他们会赋予世人另一颗心脏，

And other pulses. Hear ye not the hum
Of mighty workings?
Listen awhile ye nations, and be dumb.

另一种脉搏， 你们难到没听见
人间市场上大声的嘈杂喧嚷？
普天下各族啊，听听吧， 不必开言。(1816)
