The chariot四轮马车

Because I could not stop for Death--

He kindly stopped for me--

The Carriage held but just Ourselves-

And Immortality.

因为我不能停下来等待死神

他和善地停下来等我——

那辆车只能容我们两个——

还有不朽。

We slowly drove--He knew no haste

And I had put away

My labor and my Leisure too,

For His Civility--

我们慢慢驱车——他不慌不忙

我也把我的劳与闲

统统丢掉一边，

为了他的礼让——

We passed the School, where Children strove

At Recess--in the Ring--

We passed the Fields of Gazing Grain--

We passed the Setting Sun--

我们走过校园，孩子们你推我搡，

在休息时间，在圆形广场——

我们走过在田间凝眸的麦杆——

我们走过落日旁——

Or rather--He passed Us--

The Dews drew quivering and chill--

For only Gossamer, my Gown--

My Tippet--only Tulle--

或毋宁说，他走过我们身旁

寒露降，身子冻得打颤——

因为我的长衫落纱般——

我的披肩如丝网——

We paused before a House that seemed

A Swelling of the Ground--

The Roof was scarcely visible--

he Coraice--in the Ground--

我们停步在一所房子前，

那似乎是隆起的土地一片

屋顶几乎看不见——

屋檐在地里面——

Since then--’tis Centuries--and yet

Feels shorter than the Day

I first surmised the Horses’Heads

Were toward Eternity--

离那时已是几个世纪

过了还不到一天，

我首次猜测到，马头

在朝向永恒奔窜。

Home, Sweet Home

A poem by Frances Ellen Watkins Harper

It shall be a royal mansion,

A fair and beautiful thing,

It will be the presence-chamber

Of thy Saviour, Lord and King.

Thy house shall be bound with pinions

To mansions of rest above,

But grace shall forge all the fetters

With the links and cords of love.

Thou shalt be free in this mansion

From sorrow and pain of heart,

For the peace of God shall enter,

And never again depart.

Impatient of no child, 没有孩子似的急躁，

Her admonition mild 她的训诫也是温和的。

In forest and the hill 在森林里，在小山中，

By traveler is heard, 旅行者都可以听到，

Restraining rampant squirrel 在遏制猖獗的松鼠，

Or too impetuous bird. 或太鲁莽的鸟的时候，

How fair her conversation, 她的言语是多么公正，

A summer afternoon, -- 一个夏天午后,----

Her household, her assembly; 在她的家庭中, 在她的聚会上;

And when the sun goes down 当太阳下山的时候，

Her voice among the aisles 过道中她的声音，

Incites the timid prayer 激励了最微小的蟋蟀、

Of the minutest cricket, 最微不足道的花的，

The most unworthy flower. 羞怯的祈祷。

When all the children sleep 当所有的孩子睡觉的时候，

Her golden finger on her lip, 把金色的手指放在唇上，

Wills silence everywhere. 嘱咐各处安静。

The Poem as Mask

by Muriel Rukeyser

When I wrote of the women in their dances and wildness， it was a mask，

on their mountain， gold-hunting， singing， in orgy，

it was a mask; when I wrote of the god，

fragmented， exiled from himself， his life， the love gone down with song，

it was myself， split open， unable to speak， in exile from myself.

There is no mountain， there is no god， there is memory

of my torn life， myself split open in sleep， the rescued child

beside me among the doctors， and a word

of rescue from the great eyes.

No more masks! No more mythologies!

Now， for the first time， the god lifts his hand，

the fragments join in me with their own music.

The Poet of Bray

by John Heath-Stubbs

Back in the dear old thirties' days

When politics was passion

A harmless left-wing bard was I

And so I grew in fashion：

Although I never really joined

The Party of the Masses

I was most awfully chummy with

The Proletarian classes.

This is the course I'll always steer

Until the stars grow dim， sir——

That howsoever taste may veer

I'll be in the swim， sir.

But as the tide of war swept on

I turned Apocalyptic：

With symbol， myth and archetype

My verse grew crammed and cryptic：

With New Romantic zeal I swore

That Auden was a fake， sir，

And found the mind of Nicky Moore

More int'resting than Blake， sir.

White Horsemen down New Roads had run

But taste required improvement：

I turned to greet the rising sun

And so I joined the Movement!

Glittering and ambiguous

In villanelles I sported：

With Dr. Leavis I concurred，

And when he sneezed I snorted.

But seeing that even John Wax might wane

I left that one-way street， sir;

I modified my style again，

And now I am a Beat， sir：

So very beat， my soul is beat

Into a formless jelly：

I set my verses now to jazz

And read them on the telly.

Perpetual non-conformist I——

And that's the way I'm staying——

The angriest young man alive

(Although my hair is greying)

And in my rage I'll not relent——

No， not one single minute——

Against the base Establishment

(Until， of course， I'm in it)。

This is the course I'll always steer

Until the stars grow dim， sir——

That howsoever taste may veer

I'll be in the swim， sir.

The Pomegranateby Eavan Boland

The only legend I have ever loved is

the story of a daughter lost in hell.

And found and rescued there.

Love and blackmail are the gist of it.

Ceres and Persephone the names.

And the best thing about the legend is

I can enter it anywhere. And have.

As a child in exile in

a city of fogs and strange consonants，

I read it first and at first I was

an exiled child in the crackling dusk of

the underworld， the stars blighted. Later

I walked out in a summer twilight

searching for my daughter at bed-time.

When she came running I was ready

to make any bargain to keep her.

I carried her back past whitebeams

and wasps and honey-scented buddleias.

But I was Ceres then and I knew

winter was in store for every leaf

on every tree on that road.

Was inescapable for each one we passed.

And for me.

It is winter

and the stars are hidden.

I climb the stairs and stand where I can see

my child asleep beside her teen magazines，

her can of Coke， her plate of uncut fruit.

The pomegranate! How did I forget it?

She could have come home and been safe

and ended the story and all

our heart-broken searching but she reached

out a hand and plucked a pomegranate.

She put out her hand and pulled down

the French sound for apple and

the noise of stone and the proof

that even in the place of death，

at the heart of legend， in the midst

of rocks full of unshed tears

ready to be diamonds by the time

the story was told， a child can be

hungry. I could warn her. There is still a chance.

The rain is cold. The road is flint-coloured.

The suburb has cars and cable television.

The veiled stars are above ground.

It is another world. But what else

can a mother give her daughter but such

beautiful rifts in time?

If I defer the grief I will diminish the gift.

The legend will be hers as well as mine.

She will enter it. As I have.

She will wake up. She will hold

the papery flushed skin in her hand.

And to her lips. I will say nothing.

Where there is great love, there are always miracles. 哪里有真爱存在，哪里就有奇迹。 Love is like a butterfly. It goes where it pleases and it pleases where it goes. 爱情就像一只蝴蝶，它喜欢飞到哪里，就把欢乐带到哪里。 If I had a single flower for every time I think about you, I could walk forever in my garden. 假如每次想起你我都会得到一朵鲜花，那么我将永远在花丛中徜徉。 Within you I lose myself, without you I find myself wanting to be lost again. 有了你，我迷失了自我。失去你，我多么希望自己再度迷失。 At the touch of love everyone becomes a poet. 每一个沐浴在爱河中的人都是诗人。 Look into my eyes - you will see what you mean to me. 看看我的眼睛，你会发现你对我而言意味着什么。 Distance makes the hearts grow fonder. 距离使两颗心靠得更近。 I need him like I need the air to breathe. 我需要他，正如我需要呼吸空气。 If equal affection cannot be, let the more loving be me. 如果没有相等的爱，那就让我爱多一些吧。 Love is a vine that grows into our hearts. 爱是长在我们心里的藤蔓。 If I know what love is, it is because of you. 因为你，我懂得了爱。 Love is the greatest refreshment in life. 爱情是生活最好的提神剂。 Love never dies. 爱情永不死。 The darkness is no darkness with thee. 有了你，黑暗不再是黑暗。 We cease loving ourselves if no one loves us. 如果没有人爱我们，我们也就换嵩侔 约毫恕?

That is the reason there is just one you. 在这世上珍贵的东西总是罕有，所以这世上只有一个你。 You make my heart smile. 我的心因你而笑。 The road to a lover's house is never long. 通往爱人家里的路总不会漫长。 Why do the good girls, always want the bad boys? 为何好女孩总喜欢坏男孩？ Being with you is like walking on a very clear morning. 和你在一起就像在一个清爽的早晨漫步。 It is never too late to fall in love. 爱永远不会嫌晚。 To the world you may be just one person. To the person you may be the world. 对于世界，你可能只是一个人，但对于某个人，你却是整个世界。 Where there is love, there are always wishes. 哪里有爱，哪里就有希望。 You don't love a woman because she is beautiful, but she is beautiful because you love her. 你不会因为美丽去爱一个女人，但她却会因为你的爱而变得美丽。 Love is something eternal; the aspect may change, but not the essence. 爱是永恒的，外表可能改变，但本质永远不变。 Love is not a matter of counting the days. It's making the days count. 爱情不是数着日子过去，它让每个日子都变得有意义。 With the wonder of your love, the sun above always shines. 拥有你美丽的爱情，太阳就永远明媚。 Love is a fabric that nature wove and fantasy embroidered. 爱情是一方织巾，用自然编织，用幻想点缀。 First love is unforgettable all one's life. 初恋是永生难忘的。 In the very smallest cot there is room enough for a loving pair. 哪怕是最小的茅舍，对一对恋人来说都有足够的空间。 Love without end hath no end. 情绵绵，爱无边。 Love's tongue is in the eyes. 爱情的话语全在双眼之中。 In love folly is always sweet. 恋爱中，干傻事总是让人感到十分美妙。 There is no hiding from lover's eyes. 什么也瞒不过恋人的眼睛。 The only present love demands is love. 爱所祈求的唯一礼物就是爱。 The heart that once truly loves never forgets. 真挚恋爱过的心永不忘却。 Love warms more than a thousand fires. 爱情的炽热胜过千万团的火。 Your smiling at me is my daily dose of magic. 你嫣然的微笑是我每日享受到的魅力。 Your kiss still burns on my lips, everyday of mine is so beautiful. 你的吻还在我的唇上发烫，从此我的日子变得如此美丽。 Love understands love; it needs no talk. 相爱的心息息相通，无需用言语倾诉。 Love me little and love me long. 不求情意绵绵，但求天长地久。 First impression of you is most lasting. 对你最初的印象，久久难以忘怀。 When the words "I love you" were said by you for the first time, my world blossoms. 第一次听到你对我说"我爱你"，我的世界一瞬间鲜花绽开。 Tell me you are mine. I'll be yours through all the years, till the end of time. 请告诉我你是我的。岁岁年年，我都属于你，永远永远。 Love is a fire which burns unseen. 爱情是无形燃烧的火焰。 I feel happy at times we have had angry words but these have been kissed away. 我们生气争执时，爱的双唇把它们吻得无影无踪，我的心也顿觉甜蜜。 You cannot appreciate happiness unless you have known sadness too. 不知道什么是忧伤，就不会真正感激幸福。 But if the while I think on thee, dear friend, all losses are restored, and sorrows end. 只要我一想起你，亲爱的人，所有的失落和遗憾烟消云散 这首诗很不错

In bulk doth make man better be;

不必如巨树，木秀于林;

不必如橡树，经年不倒，

To fall a log at last, dry, bald, and sere:

亦难逃枯朽之命;

A lily of a day

Is fairer far in may,

绽放一日，便有万种风情;

Although it fall and die that night—

纵然是夜凋零，

It was the plant and flower of light.

却是光华的落英;

In small proportions we just beauties see;

于细微处领略美丽，

And in short measures life may perfect be.

于残缺处完满生命。
