An October Sunrise
I was up the next morning before the October sunrise, and away through
the wild and the woodland. The rising of the sun was noble in the cold
and warmth of it peeping down the spread of light, he raised his shoulder
heavily over the edge of grey mountain and wavering length of upland.
Beneath his gaze the dew-fogs dipped, and crept to crept to the hollow
places; then stole away in line and column, holding skirts, and clinging
subtly at the sheltering corners where rock hung over grassland, while
the brave lines of the hills came forth, one beyond other gliding.
The woods arose in folds, like drapery of awakened mountains, stately with
a depth of awe, and memory of the tempests. Autumn’s mellow hand was upon
them, as they owned already, touched with gold and red and olive, and their
joy towards the sun was less to a bridegroom than a father.
Yet before the floating impress of the woods could clear it self, suddenly
the gladsome light leaped over hill and valley, casting amber, blue, and
purple, and a tint of rich red rose; according to the scene they lit on,
and the curtain flung around; yet all alike dispelling fear and the cloven
hoof of darkness, all on the wings of hope advancing, and proclaiming,
“God is here!” then life and joy sprang reassured from every crouching
hollow; every flower, and bud and bird had a fluttering sense of them;
and all the flashing of God’s gaze merged into soft beneficence.
So, perhaps, shall break upon us that eternal morning, when crag and chasm
shall be no more, neither hill and valley, nor great unvintaged ocean;
but all things shall arise, and shine in the light of the Father’s
countenance, because itself is risen.
十月的日出

第二天凌晨，在十月的太阳升起之前，我已经起身并穿过了旷野和丛林 。十月的
清晨乍寒还暖，日出的景象非常壮观。透过一片晨曦，朝日从朦胧的山冈和起伏
连绵的 高地过际，沉重地抬起肩头。在它的逼视下，蒙蒙的雾气向下沉降，落到
洼地里去，接着一丝丝一缕缕地 悄悄飘散，而在草地之上悬岩之下的那些隐秘角
落里，雾气却还不愿散去，同时群山的雄姿接二连三地显 现出来。
森林也层层叠叠地显现，宛若刚刚苏醒的山峦的斗篷，端庄威严，并带着狂风暴
雨的 回忆。秋天成熟的手已经在抚摸这些山林，因为它们的颜色已经改变，染上
了金黄，丹红和橄榄绿。它们 对朝日所怀的一片喜悦，像是要奉献给一个新郎，
更像是要奉献给一位父亲。
