「Composed upon Westminster Bridge, September 3, 1802」

_ a Petrarchan sonnet （18th century）Romantic

poet William Wordsworth

Earth hasnot anything to show more fair:

Dull wouldhe be of soul who could pass by

A sight sotouching in its majesty:

This Citynow doth, like a garment, wear

The beautyof the morning; silent, bare,

Ships,towers, domes, theatres and temples lie

Open untothe fields, and to the sky;

All brightand glittering in the smokeless air.

Never didsun more beautifully steep

In hisfirst splendor, valley, rock, or hill;

Ne'er sawI, never felt, a calm so deep!

The riverglideth at his own sweet will:

Dear God!The very houses seem asleep;

And all that mighty heart is lyingstill!

大地再没有比这儿更美的风貌：

若有谁，对如此壮丽动人的景物

竟无动于衷，那才是灵魂麻木：

瞧这座城市，像披上一领新袍，

披上了明艳的晨光；环顾周遭：

船舶，尖塔，剧院，教堂，华屋，

都寂然、坦然，向郊野、向天穹赤露，

在烟尘未染的大气里粲然闪耀。

旭日金挥洒布于峡谷山陵，

也不比这片晨光更为奇丽；

我何尝见过、感受过这深沉的宁静！

河上徐流，由着自己的心意；

上帝呵！千门万户都沉睡未醒，

这整个宏大的心脏仍然在歇息！
