屠岸 譯

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:

幾個偉大的靈魂寄寓在大地上；
一個屬於雲彩，湖泊，急湍，
精神抖擻， 在赫爾韋林山巔，
從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.

一個屬於玫瑰， 紫羅蘭，春光，
友好地微笑， 為自由而身係鐵鏈，
看啊！他如此堅定， 決不采選
一聲低於拉斐爾耳語的音響。

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

還有另一些靈魂站在一旁，
站在屬於未來時代的額前；
他們會賦予世人另一顆心髒，

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

另一種脈搏， 你們難到沒聽見
人間市場上大聲的嘈雜喧嚷？
普天下各族啊，聽聽吧， 不必開言。(1816)
