英文诗歌短篇风

我印象中最唯美的英语短诗是爱尔兰诗人叶芝的《当你老了》，是一首经典的爱情诗。作者将他心底最浓浓的爱意融入到诗词中，通读全诗，可以感受到作者对于女主人公真挚的情谊。“如花的容颜与青春的年纪是女孩子最大的资本，世上无数人爱着你的美貌，唯有我爱你超脱凡俗的心，爱你永恒的灵魂。”在爱情面前，时光又算什么。即便是老了，美丽的容颜已逝，回忆一生有爱，有笑，有美好的回忆，眼角泛的泪花也是温暖的吧！01:05附上中英文版本的诗大家一起来欣赏下吧！When you are old 当你老了--- William Butler Yeats ——威廉·巴特勒·叶芝When you are old and grey and full of sleep,当你老了，头发花白，睡意沉沉，And nodding by the fire，take down this book,倦坐在炉边，取下这本书来，And slowly read,and dream of the soft look慢慢读着，追梦当年的眼神Your eyes had once,and of their shadows deep;你那柔美的神采与深幽的晕影。How many loved your moments of glad grace,多少人爱过你昙花一现的身影，And loved your beauty with love false or true,爱过你的美貌，以虚伪或真情，But one man loved the pilgrim Soul in you惟独一人曾爱你那朝圣者的心，And loved the sorrows of your changing face;爱你哀戚的脸上岁月的留痕。And bending down beside the glowing bars,在炉罩边低眉弯腰，Murmur,a little sadly,how Love fled忧戚沉思，喃喃而语，And paced upon the mountains overhead爱情是怎样逝去，又怎样步上群山，And hid his face amid a crowd of stars.怎样在繁星之间藏住了脸。
