【Ode to the West Wind • IV】

Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792—1822)

         If I were a dead leaf thou mightest bear;

         If I were a swift cloud to fly with thee;

         A wave to pant beneath thy power, and share

         The impulse of thy strength, only less free

         Than thou, O uncontrollable! If even

         I were as in my boyhood, and could be

         The comrade of thy wanderings over Heaven,

         As then, when to outstrip thy skiey speed

         Scarce seem'd a vision; I would ne'er have striven

         As thus with thee in prayer in my sore need.

         Oh, lift me as a wave, a leaf, a cloud!

         I fall upon the thorns of life! I bleed!

         A heavy weight of hours has chain'd and bow'd

         One too like thee: tameless, and swift, and proud.

【《西風頌 • 之四》】

穿越山谷者•昏暗•雪萊(1792生—1822卒)

            我若是一朵輕捷的浮雲能和你同飛，

            我若是一片落葉，你所能提攜，

            我若是一頭波浪能喘息於你的神威，

            分享你雄強的脈搏，自由不羈，

            僅次於，哦，僅次於不可控制的你，

            我若能象少年時，作為伴侶，

            隨你同游天際，因為在那時節，

            似乎超越你天界的神速也不為奇蹟；

            我也就不至於像現在這樣急切，

            向你苦苦祈求。哦，快把我揚起，

            就象你揚起的波浪、浮雲、落葉！

            我傾覆於人生的荊棘！我在流血！

            歲月的重負壓制着的這一個太象你，

            象你一樣，驕傲，不馴，而且敏捷。
