SPRING
Thomas Nash
Spring, the sweet Spring, is the year's pleasant king;
Then blooms each thing, then maids dance in a ring,
Cold doth not sting, the pretty birds do sing,
Cuckoo, jug-jug, pu-we, to-witta-woo!
The palm and may make country houses gay,
Lambs frisk and play, the shepherds pipe all day,
And we hear aye birds tune2 this merry lay,
Cuckoo, jug-jug, pu-we, to-witta-woo!
The fields breathe sweet, the daisies kiss our feet,
Young lovers meet, old wives a-sunning sit,
In every street theses tunes3 our ears do greet,
Cuckoo, jug-jug, pu-we, to-witta-woo!
Spring! the sweet Spring!
春
郭沫若 譯
春，甘美之春，一年之中的堯舜，
處處都有花樹，都有女兒環(huán)舞，
微寒但覺清和，佳禽爭著唱歌，
啁啁，啾啾，哥哥，割麥、插一禾！
榆柳呀山楂，打扮著田舍人家，
羊羔嬉游，牧笛兒整日價吹奏，
百鳥總在和鳴，一片悠揚聲韻，
啁啁，啾啾，哥哥，割麥、插一禾！
郊原蕩漾香風，雛菊吻人腳踵，
情侶作對成雙，老嫗坐曬陽光，
走向任何通衢，都有歌聲悅耳，
啁啁，啾啾，哥哥，割麥、插一禾！
春！甘美之春！
