歌词与中文翻译
The World Is Too Much With Us By W Wordsworth -Elijah's Mantle
威廉华兹华斯英文诗：尘世诱惑甚多 The world is too much with us
The world Is too much with us
尘世诱惑甚多
Late and soon
无论将来或当下
Getting and spending we lay waste our powers
人类获取自然之馈赠 又恣肆挥霍大自然的能量
Little we see in nature that is ours
人类之驽钝 竟然无法知晓自然与人类之一体
We have given our hearts away a sordid boon
无知的慷慨之举 竟然连心一起抛弃
This Sea that bares her bosom to the moon
昔日 大海向月亮敞露心胸
The winds that will be howling at all hours
风儿整日快意地掠过
And are up gathered now like sleeping flowers
而此时 大海与风儿却如睡莲般蜷缩
For this for every thing we are out of tune
一切的迹象表明
It moves us not
大自然不再令人类沉醉感动 我们的人生已经不成曲调
Great God I'd rather be
全能的上帝啊!
A Pagan suckled in a creed outworn
我宁愿是一个被陈腐教条喂养的异教徒(此处指多神教和土著)
So might I standing on this pleasant lea
站在这片怡人的草地
Have glimpses that would make me less forlorn
一睹大自然的清姿丽影 消融无限的悲哀与孤单
Have sight of proteus rising from the sea
容我 看到普罗狄斯在海中升起
Or hear old triton blow his wreathed horn
听到特莱顿吹起那装饰着花环的号角
