Amid whose swift half- intermitted burst

在它那断时续的涌迸之间，

Huge fragments vaulted¹ like rebounding² hail,

Or chaffy³ grain beneath the thresher's flail⁴:

And'mid these dancing rocks at once and ever

从这些舞蹈的岩石中，

It flung up momently the sacred river.

Then reached the caverns⁶ measureless to man,

And sank in tumult⁷ to a lifeless ocean:

Ancestral voices prophesying⁸ war!

The shadow of the dome⁹ of pleasure
