西風頌

Make me thy lyre，even as the forest is：

What if my leaves are falling like its own!

The tumult of thy mighty harmonies

Will take from both a deep，autumnal tone，

Sweet though in sadness. Be thou，Spirit fierce，

My spirit! Be thou me，impetuous one!

Drive my dead thoughts over the universe.

Like wither'd leaves， to quicken a new birth!

And，by the incantation of this verse，

Scatter， as from an unextinguish’d hearth

Ashes and sparks，my words among mankind!

Be through my lips to unawaken’d earth

The trumpet of a prophecy！ O Wind，

If Winter comes，can Spring be far behind?

拿我當琴吧，就像那一片樹林，

哪怕我周身的葉兒也同樣飄落!

你以非凡和諧中的狂放的激情

讓我和樹林都奏出雄渾的秋樂，

悲涼而又甜美。狂暴的精靈喲，

但愿你我迅猛的靈魂能夠契合!

把我僵死的思想撒向整個宇宙，

像枯葉被驅趕去催促新的生命!

而且，依憑我這首詩中的符咒，

把我的話語傳給天下所有的人，

就像從未熄的爐中撥放出火花!

讓那預言的號角通過我的嘴唇

向昏沉的大地吹奏!哦，風啊。

如果冬天來了，春天還會遠嗎?
