SPRING

William Blake

Sound the flute!
Now it's mute.
Birds delight
Day and night;
Nightingale
In the dale,
Lark in sky,
Merrily,
Merrily, merrily, to welcome in the year.

Little boy,
Full of joy;
Little girl,
Sweet and small;
Cock does crow,
So do you;
Merry voice,
Infant noise,
Merrily, merrily, to welcome in the year.

Little lamb,
Here I am;
Come and lick
My white neck;
Let me pull
Your soft wool;
Let me kiss
Your soft face;
Merrily, merrily, we welcome in the year.



春

郭沫若 译

笛声加紧！
俄而悄静。
无昼无夜，
百鸟和鸣；
谷中有
夜鸣莺，
天上有百灵，
多喜幸，
多喜幸，多喜幸，迎接新春。

小童们，
真高兴；
小娘们，
甜而嫩；
鸡在唱，
人在吟；
婴儿笑声
沁人心，
多喜幸，多喜幸，迎接新春。

小羊羔，
我在等；
你请来
舐我白颈；
把你柔毛
让我抿；
把你面庞
让我吻；
多喜幸，多喜幸，迎接新春。
