The pure, the bright,the beautiful, That stirred our hearts in youth, The
impulses to wordless prayer,一切纯洁的、辉煌的、美丽的， 强烈地震撼着我们年轻的心灵， 推动着我们做无言的祷告，The dreams
of love and truth; The longing after something's lost, The spirit's yearning
cry.我们梦想着爱与真理; 在失去后感到珍惜的， 使灵魂深切地呼喊着。下面就是小编给大家带来的英文诗歌，希望能帮助到大家!
1The Lost Mistress
失去的恋人
Robert Browning
罗伯特?勃朗宁
All’s over, then: does truth sound bitter
那么，一切都过去了。
As one at first believes?
难道实情的滋味
Hark, ’tis the sparrows’ good-night twitter
真有预想的那么难咽?
About your cottage eaves!
听，麻雀在你家村居的屋檐周围
And the leaf-buds on the vine are woolly,
唧唧喳喳地道着晚安。
I noticed that, today;
今天我发现葡萄藤上的芽苞
One day more bursts them open fully –
毛茸茸地，鼓了起来;再一天时光就会把嫩叶催开，
You know the red turns grey.
瞧; 暗红正浙渐转为灰白。
Tomorrow we meet the same then, dearest?
最亲爱的。明天我们能否照样相遇?
May I take your hand in mine?
我能否仍旧握住你的手?
Mere friends are we, – well, friends the merest
“仅仅是朋友，”好吧，我失去的许多东西，
Keep much that I resign:
最一般的朋友倒还能保留：
For each glance of the eye so bright and black,
你乌黑澄澈的眼睛每一次闪烁
Though I keep with heart’s endeavor, –
我都永远铭刻在心;
Your voice, when you wish the snowdrops back, Though it stay in my soul for
ever! –
我心底也永远保留着你说 “愿白雪花回来”的声音!
Yet I will but say what mere friends say,
但是，我将只说一般朋友的语言，
Or only a thought stronger;
或许再稍微强烈一丝;
I will hold your hand but as long as all may,
我握你的手，将只握礼节允许的时间
Or so very little longer!
或许再稍微长一霎时! 追求者并没有因拒绝而却步。
2Love Is Cruel, Love Is Sweet
爱情残忍爱情甜
Thomas MacDonagh
托马斯?麦克唐纳
Love is cruel, love is sweet, -- Cruel sweet, Lovers sigh till lovers
meet,
爱情残忍爱情甜，—— 残忍而又甜， 情人肠断到相见，
Sigh and meet -- Sigh and meet, and sigh again -- Cruel sweet! O sweetest
pain!
肠断到相见—— 肠断到相见，相别肠又断—— 残忍的甜呵!最甜的肠断!
Love is blind -- but love is sly, Blind and sly.
爱情盲目爱情尖， 盲目而又尖，
Thoughts are bold, but words are shy -- Bold and shy –
心事勇敢言腼腆—— 勇敢而腼腆——
Bold and shy, and bold again -- Sweet is boldness, -- shyness pain.
勇敢而腼腆，回头又勇敢—— 勇敢是甜呵，——腼腆令肠断。
3Love at First Sight
一见钟情
Wislawa Szymborska
维斯拉瓦?辛波丝卡
They both thought that a sudden feeling had united them.
他俩都认为一种陡然而起的感情把他们联系。
This certainty is beautiful,
这种确定性很美丽，
even more beautiful than uncertainty.
甚至美得连飘忽不定也无法比。
They thought they didn’t know each other,
他们认为他们彼此并不认识，
nothing had ever happened between them,
他们间也不曾发生任何故事，
These streets, these stairs, this corridors,
这些街道，这些走廊，这些楼梯，
Where they could have met so long ago?
很久以前他们会不会相遇在那里?
I would like to ask them, if they can remember –
我想问他们，是否他们还能记忆——
perhaps in a revolving door face to face one day?
或许某天，他们碰过面在一扇旋转门里?
A “sorry“ in the crowd? “Wrong number“ on the ’phone?
在电话里说过一句“拨错号”? 在人群里说过一声“对不起”?
- but I know the answer.
——可是那答案我自知：
No, they don’t remember.
不，他们什么也不会记。
How surprised they would be
他们会多么惊奇!
For such a long time already
已经长久，长久地，
Fate has been playing with them.
命运一直在和他们玩游戏。
Not quite yet ready to change into destiny,
还没有充分准备向命运把头低，
which brings them nearer and yet further,
命运把他们拉近，而又把他们推离，
cutting their path
切断他们的道路联系，
and stifling a laugh,
然后让笑声强压抑，
escaping ever further;
逃跑得更加遥远万里;
There were sings(signs), indications,
留下一些标志，一些痕迹，
undecipherable, what does in(it) matter.
具体是什么，却无法破译。
Three years ago, perhaps or even last Tuesday,
也许在三年前，或许就在第二天上个星期，
this leaf flying from one shoulder to another?
从一个人的肩向另一个人的肩飘过这片叶子?
Something lost and gathered.
有些东西已失去，有些东西在聚集。
Who knows, perhaps a ball already
天知道，或许是一个球弹起
in the bushes, in childhood?
滚进了灌木丛，在孩提?
There were handles, door bells,
有把手转动，有门铃滴滴，
where, on the trace of a hand,
在那里，一只手握过的印记，
another hand was placed;
另一只手又曾经摁下痕迹;
suitcases next to one another in the left luggage.
在行李寄存处，两只手提箱紧紧靠着彼此。
And maybe one night the same dream forgotten on walking;
也许某个夜晚同样被忘却的梦漫步天际;
But every badging is only a continuation,
可是每个标记都只是间断后的再开始，
and the book of fate is always open in the middle.
命运之书总是打开在中间一页纸。

It's had tacks in it, And splinters, And boards torn up, And places with no
carpet on the floor -- Bare.
它自有自己的轨道 有荆棘 有坎坷 没有鲜花和红地毯 光秃秃的什么也没有
But all the time I'se been a-climbin' on, And reachin' landin's,

And turnin' corners, And sometimes goin' in the dark

Where there ain't been no light. So boy, don't you turn back.

Don't you set down on the steps 'Cause you finds it's kinder hard.
不要放慢你前进的步伐 即使你遇到再大的坎坷
Don't you fall now -- For I'se still goin',honey, I'se still climbin',
请你不要沉沦 因为亲爱的，有我继续陪你一道 继续攀登
And life for me ain't been no crystal stair.
