诗歌欣赏:the human seasons

the human seasons

four seasons fill the measure of the year;

there are four seasons in the mind of man:

he has his lusty spring, when fancy clear

takes in all beauty with an easy span:

he has his summer, when luxuriously

spring's honied cud of youthful thought he loves

to ruminate, and by such dreaming high

is nearest unto heaven: quiet coves

his soul has in its autumn, when his wings

he furleth close; contented so to look

on mists in idleness--to let fair things

pass by unheeded as a threshold brook.

he has his winter too of pale misfeature,

or else he would forego his mortal nature.

人生四季

四季轮回构成了一年,

人的心灵也有四季更替:

他有生机勃勃的春天,

在幻想中把所有美景一览无余;

在那奢华繁盛的夏天,

他爱把春天采集的花蜜细细品尝,

沉浸在甜美的青春思绪中,

他高高飞扬的梦想几乎升上天堂;

秋天他的心灵栖息在宁静的港湾,

他收拢了疲倦的羽翼,

悠闲而满足地透过雾气遥望,

任美好的事物像门前的小溪不经意地流逝。

他终将走进冬天的苍凉晚境,

不然他就失去了凡人的本性。
