英语诗歌原文
1.Constancy
Dennis Haskell
I stared out on the midnight streets of Canberra, so still they looked frozen in time. The nearby clock tower was stuck at a quarter to eight, early even by my blood and bones like a wish that we would never age,
from this instant. Canberra: it’s what Australians like to say about it – out of time and stuck in a world of no human’s making. To be alive is to be moving
away from where we are, even in sleep. And I thought of you, as I always do, the better part of me, far and yet near, in a three hours different space. This one constancy, as still as a winter street telling me, in a way that catches my breath, that time is only a window I could climb through
and touch you, in life, in death.
2.Pity Me Not Because the Light of Day
Edna St. Vincent Millay
Pity me not because the light of day At close of day no longer walks the sky; Pity me not for beauties passed away
From field and thicket as the year goes by; Pity me not the waning of the moon, Nor that the ebbing tide goes out to sea, Nor that a man’s desire is hushed so soon, And you no longer look with love on me.
