Auguries of Innocence
天真的预言
To see a World in a Grain of Sand
从一粒沙看见整个世界,
And a Heaven in a Wild Flower,
从一朵野花窥见整片天堂,
Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand
掌心握住无穷无尽,
And Eternity in an hour.
刹那容纳万古悠长。
A Robin Redbreast in a Cage
笼中一只知更小鸟,
Puts all Heaven in a Rage.
足以惹得天庭怒恼。
A dove house fill'd with doves and pigeons
鸽舍挤满白鸽斑鸠,
Shudders Hell thro' all its regions.
地狱深处也为之颤抖。
A dog starv'd at his Master's Gate
家门前饥饿的瘦犬,
Predicts the ruin of the State.
预示一国即将倾颓。
