经典的英文诗歌篇1
Sparrow, the Special Delight of My Girl
by Gaius Valerius Catullus
Translated by David Mulroy
Sparrow， the special delight of my girl，
whom often she teases and holds on her lap
and pokes with the tip of her finger， provoking
counterattacks with your mordant beak，
whenever my luminous love desires
something or other， innocuous fun，
a bit of escape， I suppose， from her pain，
a moment of peace from her turbulent passion，
I wish I could play like she does with you
and lighten the cares of my sorrowful soul.
It thrills me as much as the nimble girl
in the story was thrilled by the gilded apple
that finally uncinched her virginal gown.

Speech Alone
by Jean Follain
Translated by W. S. Merwin
It happens that one pronounces
a few words just for oneself
alone on this strange earth
then the small white flower
the pebble like all those that went before
the sprig of stubble
find themselves re-united
at the foot of the gate
which one opens slowly
to enter the house of clay
while chairs， table， cupboard，
blaze in a sun of glory.

Speaking In Tongues
by Mary Rose O'Reilley
I go to church every Sunday
though I don‘t believe a word of it，
because the longing for God
is a prayer said in the bones.
When people call on Jesus
I move to a place in the body
where such words rise，
one of the valleys
where hope pins itself to desire;
we have so much landscape like that
you‘d think we were made
to sustain a cry.
When the old men around me
lift their hands
as though someone has cornered them，
giving it all away，
I remember a dock on the estuary，
watching a heron get airborne against the odds.
It‘s the transitional moment that baffles me—
how she composes her rickety
grocery cart of a body
to make that flight.
The pine siskin， stalled on a windy coast，
remembers the woods
she will long for when needs arise; so
the boreal forest composes itself in my mind：
first as a rift， absence，
then in a tumble of words
undone from sense， like the stutter
you hear when somebody falls over the cliff of language. Call it a gift.

Spellbound
by Emily Bront
The night is darkening round me，
The wild winds coldly blow;
But a tyrant spell has bound me
And I cannot， cannot go.
The giant trees are bending
Their bare boughs weighed with snow.
And the storm is fast descending，
And yet I cannot go.
Clouds beyond clouds above me，
Wastes beyond wastes below;
But nothing drear can move me;
I will not， cannot go.

Spirit
by Maggie Nelson
The spirit of Jane
lives on in you，
my mother says
trying to describe
who I am. I feel like the girl
in the late-night movie
who gazes up in horror
at the portrait of
her freaky ancestor
as she realizes
they wear the same
gaudy pendant
round their necks.
For as long as I can
remember， my grandfather
has made the same slip：
he sits in his kitchen，
his gelatinous blue eyes
fixed on me. Well Jane，
he says， I think I‘ll have another cup of coffee.
