紙草,生長在尼羅河畔
PAPYRA, throned upon the banks of Nile,
伸展著她那光滑的枝葉,揮動她那銀色的身段
Spread her smooth leaf, and waved her silver style.
—歷史悠久的金字塔,月桂色的半身雕像
—The storied pyramid, the laurel’d bust,
凱旋門已碎為塵埃
The trophy’d arch had crumbled into dust;
神聖的象徵和史詩歌曲
The sacred symbol, and the epic song,
(不知道其文字,忘記了其語言)
(Unknown the character, forgot the tongue,)
與每一個未被征服的首領或青年聖徒一起
With each unconquer’d chief, or fainted maid,
悄無聲息地沉入忘卻的深淵
Sunk undistinguish’d in Oblivion’s shade.
守護神與零亂的殘骸在一起,這令人心痛不已
Sado’er the scatter’d ruins Genius sigh’d,
而尚處幼年的文藝,因表達不清而滅亡
And infant Arts but learn’d to lisp and died.
直到步入神奇的王國—紙草,才啟發人們
Till to astonish’d realms PAPYRA taught
用神秘的色調描繪聲音和思想
With Wisdom’s voice to print the page sublime,
用智者的言語印記莊嚴的歷史篇章
And mark in adamant the steps of Time
用硬石銘記時代的步伐
