　　經典外國英文詩歌：生之讚歌

　　Tell me not in mournful numbers,

　　Life is but an empty dream!

　　for the soul is dead that slumbers,

　　And things are not what they seem.

　　Life is real! Life is earnest!

　　And the grave is not its goal;

　　Dust thou art, to dust returnest,

　　Was not spoken of the soul.

　　Not enjoyment, and not sorrow,

　　Is our destined end or way;

　　But to act, that each to-morrow

　　Find us farther than to-day.

　　Art is long, and Time is fleeting,

　　And our hearts, though stout and brave,

　　Still, like muffled drums, are beating

　　Fneral marches to the grave.

　　In the world's broad field of battle,

　　In the bivouac of Life,

　　Be not like dumb, driven cattlt!

　　Be a hero in the strife!

　　Thrust no future,howe'er pleasant!

　　Let the dead Past bury its dead!

　　Act-act in the living Present!

　　Heart within, and God o'erhead!

　　Lives of great men all remind us

　　We can make our lives sublime,

　　And , departing , leave behind us

　　Footprints on the sands of time;

　　Footprints that perhaps another,

　　Sailing o'er life's solemn main,

　　A forlorn and shipwrecked brother,

　　Seeing, shall take heart again.

　　Let us , then, be up and doing,

　　With a heart for any face;

　　Still achieving, still pursuing,

　　Learn to labour and to wait.

　　經典外國英文詩歌：水仙

　　I wander’d lonely as a cloud

　　That floats on high o’er vales and hills,

　　When all at once I saw a crowd,

　　A host , of golden daffodils;

　　Beside the lake, beneath the trees,

　　Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.

　　Continuous as the stars that shine

　　And twinkle on the Milky way,

　　They stretch’d in never-ending line

　　Along the margin of a bay:

　　Ten thousand saw I at a glance,

　　Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.

　　The waves beside them danced, but they

　　Out-did the sparkling waves in glee:

　　A poet could not but be gay

　　In such a jocund company!

　　E gaze –and gazed –but little thought

　　What wealth the show to me had brought:

　　For oft, when on my couch I lie

　　In vacant or in pensive mood,

　　They flash upon that inward eye

　　Which is the bliss of solitude;

　　And then my heart with pleasure fills,

　　And dances with the daffodils.
