俗话说:一年之计在于春。先从春的诗歌欣赏春。

Spring 春 --William Shakespeare威廉·莎士比亚
When daisies pied, and violets blue,
And lady-smocks all silver-white,
And cuckoo-buds of yellow hue
Do paint the meadows with delight,
The cuckoo then, on every tree,
Mocks married men, for thus sings he:
'Cuckoo!
Cuckoo, cuckoo!' O word of fear,
Unpleasing to a married ear.
When shepherds pipe on oaten straws,
And merry larks are ploughmen's clocks,
When turtles tread, and rooks, and daws,
And maidens bleach their summer smocks,
The cuckoo then, on every tree,
Mocks married men, for thus sings he:
'Cuckoo!
Cuckoo, cuckoo!' O word of fear,
Unpleasing to a married ear.

Spring
Spring, the sweet spring, is the year's pleasant king;
Then blooms each thing, then maids dance in a ring,
Cold doth not sting, the pretty birds do sing,
Cuckoo, jug-jug, pu-we, to-witta-woo!
The palm and may make country houses gay,
Lambs frisk and play, the shepherds pipe all day,
And we hear aye birds tune this merry lay,
Cuckoo, jug-jug, pu-we, to-witta-woo!
The fields breathe sweet, the daisies kiss our feet,
Young lovers meet, old wives a sunning sit,
In every street these tunes our ears do greet,
Cuckoo, jug-jug, pu-we, to-witta-woo!
Spring! the sweet Spring!
春
春,甘美之春,一年之中的尧舜,
处处都有花树,都有女儿环舞,
微寒但觉清和,佳禽争着唱歌,
啁啁,啾啾,咯咯,割麦、插一禾!
榆柳呀山楂,打扮着田舍人家,
羊羔嬉游,牧笛儿整日在吹奏,
百鸟总在和鸣,一片悠扬声韵,
啁啁,啾啾,咯咯,割麦、插一禾!
郊原荡漾香风,雏菊吻人脚踵,
情侣作对成双,老妪坐晒阳光,
走向任何通衢,都有歌声悦耳,
啁啁,啾啾,咯咯,割麦、插一禾!
春!甘美之春!

埃德蒙·斯宾塞
Sonnet
十四行
Fresh spring the herald of loves mighty king,
新春啊,你这君临万方的爱神的先驱,
In whose cote armour richly are displayed
你的外衣富丽堂皇,展现出
All sorts of flowers the which on earth do spring
世间的繁花万朵,不胜枚举,
In goodly colours gloriously arrayed.
她那婀娜多姿的服装,耀人眼目。
Go to my love, Where she is carelesse laid,
找我的爱人去吧,她满不在乎,
Yet in her winters bowre:
她仍在她冬天的闺房里深睡不醒:
Tell her the joyous time will not be staid
告诉她:快乐的时光不会永驻,
Unlesse she do him by the forelock take,
除非她能把它牢牢地捏在手中;
Bid her therefore her selfe soon ready make,
嘱咐她要把一切的准备快快完成,
To wait on love amongst his lovely crew.
好去那一群丽人当中把爱神恭迎:
Where every one that misseth then her make,
谁若是还打动不了爱人的魂灵,
Shall be by him amercest with penance dew.
爱神就必定给他以应有的严惩。
Make hast therefore sweet love, whilest it is
prime,
快抓住这甜蜜的爱,趁着青春时候,
For none can call againe the passed time.
青春一去难再,像是大海东流。
