我个人最喜欢的2首,是著名湖畔派诗人华兹华斯的水仙花名人。
The Daffodils
William Wordsworth
I wander’d lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o’er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host , of golden daffodils;
Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze。
Continuous as the stars that shine
And twinkle on the Milky way,
They stretch’d in never-ending line
Along the margin of a bay:
Ten thousand saw I at a glance,
Tossing their heads in sprightly dance。
The waves beside them danced, but they
Out-did the sparkling waves in glee:
A poet could not but be gay
In such a jocund company!
E gaze –and gazed –but little thought
What wealth the show to me had brought:
For oft, when on my couch I lie
In vacant or in pensive mood,
They flash upon that inward eye
Which is the bliss of solitude;
And then my heart with pleasure fills,
And dances with the daffodils。
还有一首是美国诗人 罗伯特 佛瑞斯特的 Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening
Whose woods these are I think I know。
His house is in the village, though;
He will not see me stopping here
To watch his woods fill up with snow。
My little horse must think it queer
To stop without a farmhouse near
Between the woods and frozen lake
The darkest evening of the year。
He gives his harness bells a shake
To ask if there is some mistake。
The only other sound’s the sweep
Of easy wind and downy flake。
The woods are lovely, dark, and deep,
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep。
最后这句 Miles to go before i sleep 相当有意境。
