　　經典的英文詩歌篇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.
