A Day for Wandering

（单词翻译:单击）

　　I SET apart a day for wandering;

　　I heard the woodlands ring,

　　The hidden white-throat sing,

　　And the harmonic West,

　　Beyond a far hill-crest,

　　Touch its Aeolian string.

　　Remote from all the brawl¹ and bruit² of men,

　　The iron tongue of Trade,

　　I followed the clear calling of a wren³

　　Deep to the bosom⁴ of a sheltered glade⁵,

　　Where interwoven branches spread a shade

　　Of soft cool beryl like the evening seas

　　Unruffled by the breeze.

　　And there—and there—

　　I watched the maiden-hair,

　　The pale blue iris-grass,

　　The water-spider in its pause and pass

　　Upon a pool that like a mirror was.

　　I took for confidant

　　The diligent⁶ ant 20

　　Threading the clover and the sorrel aisles⁷;

　　For me were all the smiles

　　Of the sequestered⁸ blossoms there abloom—

　　Chalice⁹ and crown and plume¹⁰;

　　I drank the ripe rich attars blurred¹¹ and blent,

　　And won—Content!
