westminster bridge

by William WordsworthEarth has not anything to show more fair:

Dull would he be of soul who could pass by

A sight so touching in its majesty:

This City now doth like a garment wear

The beauty of the morning: silent, bare,

Ships, towers, domes, theatres, and temples lie

Open unto the fields, and to the sky,

All bright and glittering in the smokeless air.

Never did sun more beautifully steep

In his first splendour valley, rock, or hill;

Ne'er saw I, never felt, a calm so deep!

The river glideth at his own sweet will:

Dear God! the very houses seem asleep;

And all that mighty heart is lying still!

這首詩中，詩人用樸實而充滿感情色彩的語言描繪了夏秋之交從泰晤士河上的威斯敏斯特大橋眺望倫敦城清晨的景色。整個城市好像還在沉睡，晴朗的天空中晨光熹微，泰晤士河緩緩流向遠方，一切是那么明淨、莊重、優美。
