　　Of deities or mortals, or of both,

　　以綠葉為其邊緣;

　　Is emptied of its folk, this pious morn?

　　來了這些人，在這敬神的清早?

　　And, little town, thy streets for evermore

　　呵，小鎮，你的街道永遠恬靜;

　　Thou, silent form! dost tease us out of thought

　　沉默的形體呵，你象是“永恆”使人超越思想:

　　As doth eternity: Cold Pastoral!

　　呵，冰冷的牧歌!

　　When old age shall this generation waste,

　　等暮年使這一世代都凋落，只有你如舊;

　　Thou shalt remain, in midst of other woe

　　在另外的一些憂傷中，

　　Than ours, a friend to man, to whom thou say'st,

　　你會撫慰後人說:

　　'Beauty is truth, truth beauty,—that is all

　　四周瀰漫著一片寂靜和莊嚴，

　　Save where the beetle wheels his droning flight,

　　只聽見甲殼蟲在空中嗡嗡亂飛，

　　And drowsy tinklings lull the distant folds;

　　沉沉鈴聲為遠處的羊圈催眠。

　　Save that from yonder ivy-mantled tower,

　　How jocund did they drive their team afield!

　　趕著牲口下地，他們何等歡欣!

　　How bowed the woods beneath their sturdy stroke!

　　有力的砍伐使一根根樹木低頭!

　　The short and simple annals of the poor.

　　來傾聽窮人簡樸短暫的生平。

　　The boast of heraldry, the pomp of power,

　　炫耀的門第，顯赫的權勢，

　　And all that beauty, all that wealth e'er gave,

　　美和財富賦予的一切事物,

　　Awaits alike the inevitable hour.

　　都同樣等待著不可避免之時:

　　The yellow smoke that rubs its muzzle on the window-panes,

　　黃色的煙在窗玻璃上擦著它的嘴，

　　Licked its tongue into the corners of the evening,

　　把它的舌頭舐進黃昏的角落，

　　Lingered upon the pools that stand in drains,

　　徘徊在快要乾涸的水坑上;

　　Let fall upon its back the soot that falls from chimneys,

　　讓跌下煙囪的菸灰落上它的背，

　　Slipped by the terrace, made a sudden leap,

　　它溜下臺階，忽地縱身跳躍，

　　And seeing that it was a soft October night,

　　看到這是一個溫柔的十月的夜，

　　Curled once about the house, and fell asleep.

　　於是便在房子附近蜷伏起來安睡。
