William Wordsworth
傅正明譯
西敏寺橋頭賦 ①
環球此處最澄清，
木石心腸亦動情，
壯麗恢弘大都市，
晨衣一襲罩金城。
曦光靜美船帆動，
塔頂劇場寺院風，
風拂田園到天際，
輕盈靈氣透朝紅。
旭日圓輪艷麗天，
霞鋪巖谷染青山，
幽深靜謐勝先前。
無語江流辭昨夜，
有情上帝示新篇，
眾心曉夢到天園。②

William Wordsworth (1770 –1850) ,English Romantic poet
Composed upon Westminster Bridge
Earth has not anything to show more fair:
Dull would he be of soul who could pass by
A sight so touching in its majesty:
This City now doth, like a garment, wear
The beauty of the morning; silent, bare,
Ships, towers, domes, theatres, and temples lie
Open unto the fields, and to the sky;
All bright and glittering in the smokeless air.
Never did sun more beautifully steep
In his first splendour, valley, rock, or hill;
Ne'er saw I, never felt, a calm so deep!
The river glideth at his own sweet will:
Dear God! the very houses seem asleep;
And all that mighty heart is lying still!
