"Composed upon Westminster Bridge" by William Wordsworth
Earth has not anything to show more fair;
Dull would he be of soul who could pass by
A sight so touching in its majesty:
This City now doth, like a garment, wear
The beauty of the morning; silent, bare,
Ships, towers, domes, theatres, and temples lie
Open unto the fields, and to the sky;
All bright and glittering in the smokeless air.
Never did sun more beautifully steep
In his first splendour, valley, rock, or hill;
Ne’er saw I, never felt, a calm so deep!
The river glideth at his own sweet will:
Dear God! the very houses seem asleep;
And all that mighty heart is lying still!

A Westminster hídon (Szabó Lőrinc fordítása)
Földi látvány nincs még ily isteni:
nyomorult lélek, ki varázserőt
nem érez e fenséges kép előtt;
a Város most mint ruhát viseli
a tündér reggelt; dómok tornyai
ragyognak némán; partok és mezők;
még minden üres, az ég a tetők;
a füsttelen táj szikrákkal teli.
Szebb hegyeket, völgyeket, dombokat
kelő fény még nem locsolt sohasem;
csend sohse volt mélyebb, nyugalmasabb!
A folyam fut, békén, kényelmesen;
Úristen! a házak is alszanak;
s ez az egész hatalmas szív pihen!
