I wandered lonely as a cloud 我似流云天自游

上个学期娃们学的诗，也不知道他们懂多少，但今天在湖泊边走，很应景。今天看《传道书》，万物有定时，一切都是虚空。  

一首诗，一幅画，一朵花，一首歌就能给我们带来莫大的慰籍，这或许就是我们人类的privilege .

I wandered lonely as a cloud

我好似一朵孤独的流云，

That floats on high o'er vales and hills,

高高地飘游在山谷之上，

When all at once I saw a crowd,

突然我看到一大片鲜花，

A host, of golden daffodils;

是金色的水仙遍地开放。

Beside the lake, beneath the trees,

它们开在湖畔，开在树下

Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.

它们随风嬉舞，随风飘荡。

Continuous as the stars that shine

它们密集如银河的星星，

And twinkle on the milky way,

像群星在闪烁一片晶莹；

They stretched in never-ending line

它们沿着海湾向前伸展，

Along the margin of a bay:

通向远方仿佛无穷无尽；

Ten thousand saw I at a glance,

一眼看去就有千朵万朵，

Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.

万花摇首舞得多么高兴。

The waves beside them danced; but they

粼粼湖波也在近旁欢跳，

Out-did the sparkling waves in glee:

却不如这水仙舞得轻俏；

A poet could not but be gay,

诗人遇见这快乐的伙伴，

In such a jocund company:

又怎能不感到欢欣雀跃；

I gazed—and gazed—

but little thought

我久久凝视--却未能领悟

What wealth the show to me had brought:

这景象所带给我的精神至宝。

For oft, when on my couch I lie

后来多少次我郁郁独卧，

In vacant or in pensive mood,

感到百无聊赖心灵空漠；

They flash upon that inward eye

这景象便在脑海中闪现，

Which is the bliss of solitude;

多少次安慰过我的寂寞；

And then my heart with pleasure fills,

我的心又随水仙跳起舞来，

And dances with the daffodils.

我的心又重新充满了欢乐。
