William Cullen Bryant;Life;Stanza 1 ??? Whither 1, midst falling dew,?  While glow the heavens with the last steps of day,?  Far, through their rosy depths, dost thou pursue? ??? Thy solitary way? 2? Summary As the dew falls and the sun sets in the rosy depths of the heavens, I wonder where you (waterfowl) are going? Notes 1.. Whither: Where. 2.. The speaker addresses the waterfowl as if it were present. Doing so constitutes a figure of speech known as apostrophe. 披着滴落的露珠， 天空灿烂，白日的行程就要结束； 穿过玫瑰色的遥远空际， 你往何方把孤单的前程追逐？;Stanza 2 ??? Vainly the fowlers 3 eye?????????  Might mark thy distant flight to do thee wrong,?  As, darkly seen against the crimson sky,? ??? Thy figure floats along.? Summary Without success, a hunter (fowler) might try to bring you down as you float in silhouette against the crimson evening sky. Notes 3.. fowlers: Hunters. 看你远远飞翔而无计可施， 捕鸟人的眼光徒劳眷顾； 满天红霞把你映衬， 暗黑的身影飘飘飞舞。;Stanza 3??? Seekst thou the plashy 4 brink?  Of weedy lake, or marge of river wide,?? Or where the rocking billows rise and sink? ??? On the chafed 5 ocean-side?? Summary Are you looking for the marshy edge of a lake, the bank of a river, or the shore of the ocean? Notes 4. .plashy: Marshy, wet, having many puddles. 5.. chafed: Worn away by the sea. 你是在寻找开阔的大河之滨， 还是波浪拍岸的水草之湖？ 或者潮水冲刷的海滩， 那里的巨浪奔腾起伏？ ;Stanza 4??? There is a Power 6 whose care?  Teaches thy way along that pathless coast—?  The desert and illimitable air—?? ??? Lone wandering, but not lost.? Summary There is a Power that leads you on your way across deserts and through unlimited expanses of air. You may be wandering and alone, but you are not lost. Notes 6. .Power: God. 有上苍把你关照， 在无路的海岸为你指路－－ 在荒漠和无边的空际， 你孤单的飘荡不致迷途 ;Stanza 5??? All day thy wings have fanned,?  At that far height, the cold, thin atmosphere,?  Yet stoop not, weary, to the welcome land,? ??? Though the dark night is near.?? 20 Summary You have been flapping your wings all day
