O Cuckoo! shall I call thee Bird,
Or
哦，快乐的新友！我听到，
欣喜地听到你的鸣叫。
哦，布谷！我该称你鸟？
抑或就叫你妙音缭绕？
While I am lying on the grass
Thy twofold shout I hear;
From hill to hill it seems to pass
At once far off, and near.
我躺在草地上，
听你在二重唱：
歌声似在山间回荡，
刚在远方，又来近旁。
Though babbling only to the Vale,
Of sunshine and of flowers,
Thou bringest unto me a tale
Of visionary hours.
虽然你只对山谷歌唱，
山谷鲜花盛开，洒满阳光。
你却把我带回
一段梦幻时光。
Thrice welcome, darling of the Spring!
Even ye thou art to me
No bird, but an invisible thing,
A voice a mystery;
我再三将你欢迎，
可爱的春之精灵。
于我，你不是鸟，
而是无形的神秘之音。
The same whom in my schoolboy days
I listened to; that Cry
Which made me look a thousand ways
In bush, and tree, and sky.
想当年我是学生，
曾听到同样的鸣声。
我举目望你千百度，
从天空，丛林到树木。
To seek thee did I often rove
Through woods and on the green;
And thou wert still a hope, a love;
Still longed for, never seen.
穿过树林，踏过绿地，
我时常漫游，把你寻觅。
你仍然是爱和希望，
虽未见面，却仍在盼望。
And I can listen to thee yet;
Can lie upon the plain
And listen, till I do beget
That golden time again.
此刻我正躺在草原，
你的歌声仍能听见。
我聆听，直到再唤起，
我金色童年的回忆。
O blessed Bird! the earth we pace
Again appears to be
An unsubstantial, faery place;
That is fit home for thee!
噢，我们足下的大地，
再次显得飘渺而神奇；
这是你理想的家园，
幸运的鸟儿，祝福你！
