spring
by thomas nashe
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
托馬斯·納什
春，甘美之春，一年之中的堯舜，
處處都有花樹，都有女兒環舞，
微寒但覺清和，佳禽爭着唱歌，
啁啁，啾啾，哥哥，割麥、插一禾！
榆柳呀山楂，打扮着田舍人家，
羊羔嬉遊，牧笛兒整日在吹奏，
百鳥總在和鳴，一片悠揚聲韻，
啁啁，啾啾，哥哥，割麥、插一禾！
郊原盪漾香風，雛菊吻人腳踵，
情侶作對成雙，老嫗坐曬陽光，
走向任何通衢，都有歌聲悅耳，
啁啁，啾啾，哥哥，割麥、插一禾！
春！甘美之春！
英語詩朗誦（2）：
spring goeth all in white
robert bridges 春之女神着素裝
羅伯特·布里季
spring goeth all in white,
crowned with milk-white may;
in fleecy flocks of light,
o'er heaven the white clouds stray;
white butterflies in the air;
white daisies prank the ground;
the cherry and hoary pear,
scatter their snow around. 春之女神着素裝，
山楂花冠乳白光；
天上分明一羣羊，
白雲朵朵自來往；
粉蝶空中時蹁躚；
廷命菊花飾郊原；
櫻桃梨樹共爭豔，
四處非花如雪片。
