我如云朵般独自漫步

在山谷上空高高飘荡,

一大片金灿灿的水仙,

突然映入我眼帘;

在湖畔,在树下,

摇曳飞舞在微风中。

如银河中闪烁的星辰

它们熠熠发光,

沿着海湾的边缘

无尽地延伸:

轻轻一瞥,尽收眼底的上万朵,

正摇晃着脑袋轻快飞舞。

微波在身旁荡漾;但欢乐的

它们比这闪闪粼波更美妙:

置身这欢乐的花海,

诗人也只剩快乐:

我凝视——再凝视——却没有考虑

眼前的美景带给我怎样的财富。

每当我空虚忧愁地

躺在睡椅上,

它们总会在我眼前闪现,

那心灵之目正是我独处的极乐;

于是,我的心便会满怀愉悦,

与那金黄的水仙翩翩起舞。

I wandered lonely as a cloud

That floats on high o’er vales and hills,

When all at once I saw a crowd,

A host of golden daffodils;

Beside the lake, beneath the trees,

Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.

Continuous as the stars that shine

And twinkle on the Milky way,

They stretched in never-ending line

Along the margin of a bay:

Ten thousand saw I at a glance,

Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.

The waves beside them danced; but they

Outdid the sparkling waves in glee:

A poet could not but be gay,

In such a jocund company:

I gazed—and gazed—but little thought

What wealth the show to me had brought.

For oft, when on my couch I lie

In vacant or in pensive mood,

They flash upon that inward eye

Which is the bliss of solitude;

And then my heart with pleasure fills,

And dances with the daffodils.
