Chapter 7 to wordsworth
to wordsworth
O singer of nature, you cannot help weeping,
For you know that all things go and never come back:
Childhood, youth, friendship, the joy of first love,
All passed away like a dream, making you sad.
I feel the same way as you.but there is a misfortune
You feel it, but I am the only one who sighs.
You were like a lonely star, turning the light
To the frail boat in the winter night waves,
And like a stone-built harbor of refuge
Standing above the blind struggling crowd;
In honorable poverty you constructed
A song of devotion and liberty, devotion and truth—
But you let it go, I can't help but mourn
In the past you were like that, but today you are like this.
