William Wordsworth

Composed upon the Thames, near RichmondGLIDE gently, thus forever glide,
O Thames! that other bards may see
As lovely visions by thy side
As now, fair river! come to me.…

A Pilgrim, when the summer day
Had closed upon his weary way,
A lodging begged beneath a castle's roof;
But him the haughty Warder spurned;…

I“There is a Thorn—it looks so old,
In truth, you’d find it hard to say
How it could ever have been young,
It looks so old and grey.…

O
HE New-comer!
I have heard,
I hear thee and rejoice.

Смутясь от радости, я обернулся,
Чтоб поделиться - с кем, как не с тобой? -
Но над твоей могильною плитой,
Увы, давно безмолвный мрак сомкнулся.Любовь моя! Я словно бы очнулся…

WHEN I have borne in memory what has tamed
Great Nations, how ennobling thoughts depart
When men change swords for ledgers, and desert
The student's bower for gold, some fears unnamed…

I travelled among unknown men,
In lands beyond the sea;
Nor,
England! did I know till then

Небесный пилигрим и менестрель!
Иль кажется земля тебе нечистой?
Иль, ввысь взлетев и рассыпая трель,
Ты сердцем здесь с гнездом в траве росистой?…

A slumber did my spirit seal;
I had no human fears:
She seemed a thing that could not feel
The touch of earthly years.

A Gravestone upon the Floor
in the Cloisters of Worcester Cathedral“MISERRIMUS!” and neither name nor date,
Prayer, text, or symbol, graven upon the stone;
Naught but that word assigned to the unknown,…

. Most sweet it is with unuplifted eyes
To pace the ground, if path be there or none,
While a fair region round the traveller lies
Which he forbears again to look upon;

Не упрекай святых за мотовство,
Ни зодчего, что создал небывалый
Великолепный храм - для горстки малой
Ученых прихожан, - вложив в него…

Departing summer hath
An aspect tenderly illumed,
The gentlest look of spring;
That calls from yonder leafy

The cock is crowing, The stream is flowing, The small birds twitter, The lake doth glitter The green field sleeps in the sun; The oldest and youngest Are at work with the strongest; The cattle are grazing, Their heads never raising;
There…

CALM is all nature as a resting wheel.
The kine are couched upon the dewy grass;
The horse alone, seen dimly as I pass,
Is cropping audibly his later meal:…

.
From Stirling castle we had seen
The mazy Forth unravelled;
Had trod the banks of Clyde, and Tay

During an Eclipse of the Sun, July 17SINCE risen from ocean, ocean to defy,
Appeared the Crag of Ailsa, ne’er did morn
With gleaming lights more gracefully adorn
His sides, or wreathe with mist his forehead high:…

THE FLOODS are roused, and will not soon be weary;
Down from the Pennine Alps how fiercely sweeps
Croglin, the stately Eden’s tributary!
He raves, or through some moody passage creeps,…

"Туристам этим, Господи прости,
Должно быть, хорошо живется: бродят
Без дела день-деньской - и горя мало,
Как будто и земли под ними нет,…

O, friend! I know not which way I must look
For comfort, being, as I am, opprest,
To think that now our life is only drest
For show; mean handy-work of craftsman, cook,…

Supposed to Be Written by a FriendBROKEN in fortune, but in mind entire
And sound in principle, I seek repose
Where ancient trees this convent-pile enclose,
In ruin beautiful. When vain desire…

THE CAPTIVE bird was gone;—to cliff or moor
Perchance had flown, delivered by the storm;
Or he had pined, and sunk to feed the worm:
Him found we not; but, climbing a tall tower,…

Помедли, путник! Одинокий тис
Здесь от жилья людского отдален.
Как льнет пчела к нагим его ветвям!
Как радостно блестит в траве ручей!…

Ye vales and hills, whose beauty hither drew
The poet's steps, and fixed him here, on you
His eyes have closed; and ye, loved books, no more
Shall Southey feed upon your precious lore,…
