[收录]三首蛮喜欢的英文诗（其中第二首是还狗狗的～）

《Down by the Salley Gardens》
Down by the salley gardens my love and
I did meet;
She pass'd the salley gardens with
little snow-white feet.
She bid me take love easy, as the
leaves grow on the tree;
But I,being young and foolish, with
her would not agree.

In a field by the river my love and
I did stand;
And on my leaning shoulder she laid
her snow-white hand.
She bid me take life easy, as the
grass grows grows on the weirs;
But I was young and foolish, and
now am full of tears.


《柳园里》

柳园里我和心爱的人曾相遇，
她雪白的小脚从柳园走过去。
她要我把爱情看淡些，
像树上长绿叶；
但我年轻而愚蠢，却不肯同意。

我和心爱的人站在河边草地上，
她把雪白的手往我前倾的肩头放。
她要我把人生看淡些，
像坝上长绿草；
但我年轻而愚蠢，如今泪如潮。

——威廉•巴勒•叶芝






《Invictus》
Out if the night that covers me,
Black as the pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.

In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud,
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.

Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds, and shall find, me unafraid.

It matters nor how strait the gate;
How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.
——W.E.HENLEY
《沉沉夜色笼罩着我》

沉沉夜色笼罩着我，
就像两极之间的地心般黑暗，
不管上帝是什么我都要感谢，
为我桀骜不驯的灵魂。

在不幸的蹂躏下，
我同有退缩更没有哭嚎，
在命运的恫吓下，
我伤痕累累，但誓不低头。

愤怒与泪水之外，
隐约呈恐慌的阴影，
但岁月的威胁
发现和将会发现我无所畏惧。

不管门有我窄，
不管条令上的惩罚如何，
我是我命运的主宰：
我是我灵魂的舵手。
Gather the rose-buds while they may go,
Old Time is still a-flying;
And this same flower that smiles today,
Tomorrow will be dying.
—— R.Herrick

今夕此花,灼灼其姿。翌日如何,将做枯枝。）
