关于优秀英文诗歌篇1

On the Circuit

by W. H. Auden

Among pelagian travelers，

Lost on their lewd conceited way

To Massachusetts， Michigan，

Miami or L.A.，

An airborne instrument I sit，

Predestined nightly to fulfill

Columbia-Giesen-Management's

Unfathomable will，

By whose election justified，

I bring my gospel of the Muse

To fundamentalists， to nuns，

to Gentiles and to Jews，

And daily， seven days a week，

Before a local sense has jelled，

From talking-site to talking-site

Am jet-or-prop-propelled.

Though warm my welcome everywhere，

I shift so frequently， so fast，

I cannot now say where I was

The evening before last，

Unless some singular event

Should intervene to save the place，

A truly asinine remark，

A soul-bewitching face，

Or blessed encounter， full of joy，

Unscheduled on the Giesen Plan，

With， here， an addict of Tolkien，

There， a Charles Williams fan.

Since Merit but a dunghill is，

I mount the rostrum unafraid：

Indeed， 'twere damnable to ask

If I am overpaid.

Spirit is willing to repeat

Without a qualm the same old talk，

But Flesh is homesick for our snug

Apartment in New York.

A sulky fifty-six， he finds

A change of mealtime utter hell，

Grown far too crotchety to like

A luxury hotel.

The Bible is a goodly book

I always can peruse with zest，

But really cannot say the same

For Hilton's Be My Guest.

Nor bear with equanimity

The radio in students' cars，

Muzak at breakfast， or——dear God!——

Girl-organists in bars.

Then， worst of all， the anxious thought，

Each time my plane begins to sink

And the No Smoking sign comes on：

What will there be to drink?

Is this my milieu where I must

How grahamgreeneish! How infra dig!

Snatch from the bottle in my bag

An analeptic swig?

Another morning comes： I see，

Dwindling below me on the plane，

The roofs of one more audience

I shall not see again.

God bless the lot of them， although

I don't remember which was which：

God bless the U.S.A.， so large，

So friendly， and so rich.

Pietà

by Steve Scafidi

Before she is turned away

for the last time in the moment

before the new world begins

harrowing her like a field

and the sun and moon disappear

and the stars and the houses

suddenly become illustrations

in a book no longer to be

believed burning to ashes—

before the earth beneath her

rises up through her body

slowly， every green cell

yellowing in the aftermath—

just before this begins and

it begins constantly over

and over in the secret nucleus

of mothers quietly humming

at every second continuously

she breathes the odor of honey，

his hair still the odor of honey.

Pied Beauty

by Gerard Manley Hopkins

Glory be to God for dappled things——

For skies of couple-colour as a brinded cow;

For rose-moles all in stipple upon trout that swim;

Fresh-firecoal chestnut-falls; finches' wings;

Landscape plotted and pieced——fold， fallow， and plough;

And all trades， their gear and tackle and trim.

All things counter， original， spare， strange;

Whatever is fickle， freckled (who knows how?)

With swift， slow; sweet， sour; adazzle， dim;

He fathers-forth whose beauty is past change：

Praise Him.

Of Memory and Distance

by Russell Edson

It‘s a scientific fact that anyone entering the distance will grow smaller.

Eventually becoming so small he might only be found with a telescope，

or， for more intimacy， with a microscope……

But there‘s a vanishing point，

where anyone having penetrated the distance must disappear entirely without hope of his ever returning，

leaving only a memory of his ever having been.

But then there is fiction，

so that one is never really sure if it was someone who vanished into the end of seeing，

or someone made of paper and ink……
