哦,狂暴的西风,秋之生命的呼吸! 你无形,但枯死的落叶被你横扫, 有如鬼魅碰到了巫师,纷纷逃避: 黄的,黑的,灰的,红得像患肺痨, 呵,重染疫疠的一群:西风呵,是你 以车驾把有冀的种子摧送到 黑暗的冬床上,它们就躺在那里 像是墓中的死穴,冰冷,深藏,低贱, 直等到春天,你碧空的姊妹吹起 她的喇叭,在沉睡的大地上响遍, (唤出嫩芽,像羊群一样,觅食空中) 将色和香充满了山峰和平原。 不羁的精灵呵,你无处不远行; 破坏者兼保护者:听吧,你且聆听!

• Thou on whose stream, 'mid the steep sky's commotion, • Loose clouds like earth's decaying leaves are shed, • Shook from the tangled boughs of Heaven and Ocean, • Angels of rain and lightning: there are spread • On the blue surface of thine aery surge, • Like the bright hair uplifted from the head • Of some fierce Maenad, even from the dim verge • Of the horizon to the zenith's height, • The locks of the approaching storm. Thou dirge • Of the dying year, to which this closing night • Will be the dome of a vast sepulchre, • Vaulted with all thy congregated might • Of vapors, from whose solid atmosphere • Black rain, and fire, and hail will burst: oh, hear!
