经典英文诗歌

《When You Are Old 》When you are old and gray and full of sleepAnd nodding by the fire, take down this book,And slowly read, and dream of the soft lookYour eyes had once, and of their shadows deep；How many loved your moments of glad grace,And loved your beauty with love false or true；But one man loved the pilgrim soul in you,And loved the sorrows of your changing face;And bending down beside the glowing bars, Murmur, a little sadly, how love fledAnd paced upon the mountains overhead,And hid his face amid a crowd of stars.当你老了（叶芝）当你老了，白发苍苍，睡思昏沉，在炉火旁打盹，请取下这部诗歌，慢慢读，回想你过去眼神的柔和回想它们过去的浓重的阴影；多少人爱你年轻欢畅的时候出于假意或真心地爱慕你的美貌，只有一个人爱你那朝圣者的灵魂，爱你老去的容颜的痛苦的皱纹。

躬身在红光闪耀的炉火旁，凄然地低语，爱为何消逝，在头顶的山上，它缓缓踱着步子，将脸隐没在群星之中。

---------------------------------------------------世事沧桑话鸣鸟作者：〔美国〕罗伯特·潘·沃伦那只是一只鸟在晚上鸣叫，认不出是什么鸟，当我从泉边取水回来，走过满是石头的牧场，我站得那么静，头上的天空和水桶里的天空一样静。

多少年过去，多少地方多少脸都淡漠了，有的人已谢世，而我站在远方，夜那么静，我终于肯定我最怀念的，不是那些终将消逝的东西，而是鸟鸣时那种宁静。
