Auguries of Innocence                          天真的预言
-William Blake                              -威廉·布莱克
To see a world in a grain of sand                  一沙一世界   
And a heaven in a wild flower,                    一花一天堂，     
Hold infinity in the palm of your hand            双手握无限     
shudderAnd eternity in an hour.                          霎那成永恒。   
A robin redbreast in a cage                        知更鸟儿笼中囚
Puts all heaven in a rage.                        花花天堂怒不休 
A dove-house filled with doves and pigeons        家鸽野鸽挤一堂
Shudders hell through all its regions.            震天颤地荡苍茫。
A dog starved at his master's gate                狗趴主人门前饿
Predicts the ruin of the state.                    昭示国毁家落寞。
A horse misused upon the road                      马儿受虐奔路上
Calls to heaven for human blood.                  痛唤天将人血偿。
Each outcry of the hunted hare                    兔儿被猎叫声声
A fibre from the brain does tear.                  声声如刀绞心门。
A skylark wounded in the wing,                    云雀羽伤，
A cherubim does cease to sing.                    天使止唱。
The game-cock clipped and armed for fight          娱鸡蓄势斗
Does the rising sun affright.                      旭日亦颤抖。
Every wolf's and lion's howl                      狮狼吼纷纷
Raises from hell a human soul.                    一吼一人魂。
The wild deer wandering here and there            野鹿游四方
Keeps the human soul from care.                    意冷人心荒。
The lamb misused breeds public strife,            羊虐众生恼，                     
And yet forgives the butcher's knife.              犹念恕屠刀。
The bat that flits at close of eve                夜近蝠飞
Has left the brain that won't believe.            疑生心背。
The owl that calls upon the night                  猫头鹰呼唤着黑夜               
Speaks the unbeliever's fright.                    讲述背信者的恐怯。
He who shall hurt the little wren                  谁人伤鹪鹩                 
Shall never be beloved by men.                    逢男皆离逃。
He who the ox to wrath has moved                  谁人惹牛怒
Shall never be by woman loved.                    逢女皆陌路。
The wanton boy that kills the fly                  顽童戏飞虫
Shall feel the spider's enmity.                    蜘蛛敌意浓。
He who torments the chafer's sprite                谁人折磨金龟子的灵魂
Weaves a bower in endless night.                  在无尽的黑夜纠结冰冷。   
The caterpillar on the leaf                        毛毛虫爬在叶子上
Repeats to thee thy mother's grief.                重述
你母亲的哀伤。
Kill not the moth nor butterfly,                  劝君莫杀蝶与蛾，
For the Last Judgment draweth nigh.                最后审判临君侧。
He who shall train the horse to war                谁人驯马战
Shall never pass the polar bar.                    极地永成憾。
The beggar's dog and widow's cat,                  乞丐的狗，寡妇的猫
Feed them, and thou wilt grow fat.                喂喂他们吧，你将孱弱变英豪
The gnat that sings his summer's song              蚊虫夏日歌
Poison gets from Slander's tongue.                毒源诽谤舌。
The poison of the snake and newt                  蝾螈蛇口毒
Is the sweat of Envy's foot.                      妒忌足底出。
The poison of the honey-bee                        蜂蜜现毒药
Is the artist's jealousy.                          艺匠妒当勺。
The prince's robes and beggar's rags              王子的华袍，乞丐的破衫
Are toadstools on the miser's bags.                都是守财奴的毒斑。
A truth that's told with bad intent                真相恶意讲
Beats all the lies you can invent.                尤过千般谎。
It is right it should be so:                      此番皆是真：
Man was made for joy and woe;                      人为悲喜生；
And when this we rightly know                      会当悟此门
Through the world we safely go.                    天涯过无痕。     
Joy and woe are woven fine,                        悲喜巧交集，
A clothing for the soul divine.                    灵魂披圣衣。
Under every grief and pine                        哀伤悲痛里                     
Runs a joy with silken twine.                      喜乐丝丝系。
The babe is more than swaddling bands,            莫当孩提襁褓带，     
Throughout all these human lands;                  此地此民无例外；
Tools were made and born were hands,              万器唯有手主宰， 
Every farmer understands.                          一农一户皆明白。
Every tear from every eye                          眸中滴滴泪                         
Becomes a babe in eternity;                        经久成宝贝；
This is caught by females bright                  智女得领会       
And returned to its own delight.                  快乐返相随。
The bleat, the bark, bellow, and roar              咩叫，吠叫，吼叫，和咆哮
Are waves that beat on heaven's shore.            都是拍打天堂彼岸的浪涛。
The babe that weeps the rod beneath                棍棒下抽泣的婴孩
Writes Revenge! in realms of death.                书写报复吧！在那死亡的地带。
The beggar's rags fluttering in air                乞丐的破衫随风飘展
Does to rags the heavens tear.                    勾荡起花花天堂撕碎的灿烂。
The soldier armed wi
th sword and gun              战士配刀
Palsied strikes the summer's sun.                  颤栗袭夏阳。
The poor man's farthing is worth more              穷人手中币
Than all the gold on Afric's shore.                洲金比不及。
One mite wrung from the labourer's hands          劳者手中取一厘
Shall buy and sell the miser's lands,              足可买卖吝者地。
Or if protected from on high                      若得上天加庇护
Does that whole nation sell and buy.              买卖全国绝非虚。
He who mocks the infant's faith                    谁人嘲弄幼之诚
Shall be mocked in age and death.                  老死皆被嘲缠身。
He who shall teach the child to doubt              谁人唆教童置疑
The rotting grave shall ne'er get out.            腐墓埋困永难离。
He who respects the infant's faith                谁人尊重幼之诚
Triumphs over hell and death.                      阴曹地府亦常胜。
The child's toys and the old man's reasons        孩童的玩具，老人的说辞
Are the fruits of the two seasons.                是他们这两季的果实。
The questioner who sits so sly                    问者诡异坐
Shall never know how to reply.                    其己永无措。
He who replies to words of doubt                  谁人回复疑之嚷       
Doth put the light of knowledge out.              实则湮灭真之光。
The strongest poison ever known                    迄今最毒药
Came from Caesar's laurel crown.                  凯撒桂冠。
Nought can deform the human race                  无能变人心                           
Like to the armour's iron brace.                  似胄铁支形。
When gold and gems adorn the plough                金玉饰犁耙
To peaceful arts shall Envy bow.                  平庸成无价。             
A riddle or the cricket's cry                      谜呼蛐蛐叫
Is to doubt a fit reply.                          皆因疑所好。
The emmet's inch and eagle's mile                  蚁之寸，鹰之里   
Make lame philosophy to smile.                    哲理虽跛笑此彼。
He who doubts from what he sees                    人旦疑所见
Will ne'er believe, do what you please.            虽求亦有嫌。
If the sun and moon should doubt,                  日月若有疑，
They'd immediately go out.                        立散了无息。
To be in a passion you good may do,                激情塑美好，
But no good if a passion is in you.                情激酿糟糕。
The whore and gambler, by the state                娼赌州许之，           
Licensed, build that nation's fate.                国运行于此。
The harlot's cry from street to street            逐街皆闻哭
Shall weave old England's winding sheet.          英伦尸布怨织出。
The wi
nner's shout, the loser's curse,            胜者呼，败者哭         
Dance before dead England's hearse.                英伦棺木台前舞
Every night and every morn                        每一晚，每一晨
Some to misery are born.                          注定有人负苦闷
Every morn and every night                        每一晨，每一晚
Some are born to sweet delight.                    注定有人享甜欢。
Some are born to sweet delight,                    注定有人享甜欢，
Some are born to endless night.                    注定有人熬到晚。
We are led to believe a lie                        谎言千变引人怜
When we see not through the eye                    时逢万象眼未见
Which was born in a night to perish in a night,    一夜兴起一夜变，
When the soul slept in beams of light.            且逢灵魂光下眠。
God appears, and God is light                      上帝是光把灵现
To those poor souls who dwell in night,            指引夜魂揽青天
But does a human form display                      上帝化人行世间 
To those who dwell in realms of day.              遍撒光明爱无边
