Ode to the West Wind (abridged)
by Percy Bysshe Shelley

V

Make me thy lyre, even as the forest is:
What if my leaves are falling like its own!
The tumult of thy mighty harmonies

Will take from both a deep, autumnal tone,
Sweet though in sadness. Be thou, Spirit fierce,
My spirit! Be thou me, impetuous one!

Drive my dead thoughts over the universe
Like wither'd leaves to quicken a new birth!
And, by the incantation of this verse,

Scatter, as from an unextinguish'd hearth
Ashes and sparks, my words among mankind!
Be through my lips to unawaken'd earth

The trumpet of a prophecy! O Wind,
If Winter comes, can Spring be far behind?

Toyger

西风颂（节选）第五部分
      
       拿我当琴吧, 就像那一片树林,
        哪怕我周身的叶儿也同样飘落!
        你以非凡和谐中的狂放的激情

       让我和树林都奏出雄浑的秋乐,
        悲凉而又甜美。狂暴的精灵哟,
        但愿你我迅猛的灵魂能够契合!

        把我僵死的思想撒向整个宇宙,
        像枯叶被驱赶去催促新的生命!
        而且, 依凭我这首诗中的符咒,

        把我的话语传给天下所有的人,
        就像从未熄的炉中拨放出火花!
        让那预言的号角通过我的嘴唇

       向昏沉的大地吹奏! 哦, 风啊,
        如果冬天来了, 春天还会远吗?
