The complete poem of Shelley's "Ode to the West Wind":
Stanza 1
Oh, the wild west wind, the breath of autumn life,
You are invisible, but the dead leaves are swept away by you,
Like the spirit flying away from the mage and chanting,
Yellow, black, gray, and red like Suffering from tuberculosis,
The fallen leaves of the plague are scattered in all directions: Oh, it’s you,
Using a car to drive the winged seeds,
On the dark winter bed, they lie there,
Like the death hole in the tomb, cold, deep, and lowly,
Until spring, your blue sisters sleep towards The earth,
blows her loud horn,
fills the mountains and plains with color and fragrance,
Wild spirit, you are everywhere Travel far,
Hear, destroyer and protector, listen!
Verse 2
Above your stream, the huge currents in the sky are surging,
The chaotic clouds are like withered leaves on the earth,
Blowed down by the west wind from the tangled branches of the sky and the sea,
Becoming messengers of rain and lightning, they fall,
on the surface of your misty blue waves ,
Like the flying hair of a mad woman, shining,
From the farthest and vague edge of the sky,
Reaching to the zenith of the sky, everywhere Swaying,
The curls of the approaching thunderstorm, to the dying year,
You sang a funeral song, and this dense night,
will Become a dome of its vast tomb,
There is the condensation of your mighty power inside,
That is your pure energy, from which will burst< /p>
Black rain, hail and fire, oh, hear!
Section 3
It is you, you wake up the blue Mediterranean,
And it has been sleeping all summer,
Being lulled into a dream by the whirlpool of the clear water,
On the edge of a pumice island in Baya Bay,
It dreamed of ancient palaces and pavilions,
Trembling in the shadow of the waves reflected by the water and the sky,
And they are all covered with moss and flowers,
The fragrance is so charming and intoxicating, oh, for you,
p>Make way, the turbulent waves of the Atlantic Ocean,
split themselves to both sides, and deep at the bottom of the abyss,
The flowers, grass and mud in the ocean The dirty forest,
Although the branches and leaves are sparse, they have no energy.
When they hear your voice, they are scared to death.
While trembling, Automatic shrinking, oh, listen!
Section 4
If I were a fallen leaf flying with you,
If I were a flowing cloud flying with you,
Or a wave rolls under your power,
If I can have your sharpness and momentum,
Even if I can't compare with your uninhibited unrestrainedness,
If I could dance in the wind like I did when I was a boy,
I would become your partner and swim in the sky,
Because, at that time, I wanted to chase you Going up to the sky,
doesn’t seem like a dream, so why have I fallen into such decadence?
I beg you to save me from this urgent situation.
Oh, lift me up, think of me as water waves, leaves, floating clouds,
I fell on the thorns of life, I am bleeding,
This A life subdued by the heavy yoke of time,
is just like you, proud, nimble and untamed!
Verse 5
Treat me as your harp, as the bush,
Even if my leaves have fallen, what does it matter?< /p>
Your extraordinary and harmonious generosity and passion,
will surely play the deep autumn rhyme from the forest with me,
sweet but desolate. Give me your swift energy,
Become me, violent elf, and lend me your sharp edge,
Please scatter my dusty thoughts in the universe,
Let it promote new life like a dead leaf,
Oh, please listen to this spell-like poem,
Let my heart sound like ashes and sparks,
From the unquenched fire spread to the world,
Let the trumpet of prophecy pass through my mouth,
Wake up the sleepy earth, oh , O west wind,
If winter comes, can spring be far behind?
