A thing of beauty is a joy for ever:
Its loveliness increases; It will never
Pass into nothingness; but still will keep
A bower[遮阴处] quiet for us, and a sleep
Full of sweet dreams, and health, and quiet breathing.
A flowery band to bind us to the earth,
Spite of despondence[沮丧], of the inhuman dearth[缺乏]
Of noble natures, of the gloomy days,
Of all the unhealthy and o'er[即over] -darkn'd ways
Made for our searching: yes, in spite of all,
Some shape of beauty moves away the pall[遮盖物]
From our dark spirits. Such the sun, the moon,
Trees old and young, sprouting[萌发] a shady boon[恩惠]
For simple sheep; and such are daffodils[水仙花]
With the green world they live in; and clear rills[小溪]
That for themselves a cooling covert[遮蔽处] make
'Gainst the hot season; the mid-forest brake,
Rich with a sprinkling of fair musk-rose blooms:
And such too is the grandeur[伟大] of the dooms
We have imagined for the mighty dead;
All lovely takes that we have heard or read:
An endless fountain of immortal[不朽的] drink,
Pouring unto us from the heaven's brink[边缘].
凡美的东西都是永恒的喜悦：
它越来越可爱，永远不会消失；
它为我们常备一处宁静的树荫、
充满好梦的睡眠、健康、平静的呼吸。
编织一个花环，把我们与大地连在一起，
尽管有失望，
尽管高尚品格日渐匮乏，
尽管有阴暗的日子，
尽管有许多不健康的黑暗曲径
供我们搜寻：是的，尽管有这一切，
某种形式的美总会揭去
笼罩在我们心灵上的黑幕。
像太阳、月亮、老树和小树，
为纯朴的羊群长出遮荫的凉棚；
像旱地黄水仙和它们生活的绿色世界；
像清澈的溪流，为自己创造凉爽的树丛
去抵御炎热的季节；像林间的灌木中，
洒满了麝香蔷薇漂亮的小花：
又譬如我们为过去的伟人
想象出来的崇高的评判；
我们听到读到的所有美好的故事：
这些构成无尽的不朽仙泉，
从天际注入我们的心田。
美是永恒的喜悦 A Thing of Beauty
