Love's Fidelity
____________________________________________Francesco
Petrarca
Set me
whereas the sun doth parch the green,
Or where his beamsdo not dissolve the ice;
In temperate heat,where he is felt and seen;
In presence prest of people mad or wise;
Set me in
high,or yet in low degree;
In longest night,or in the shortest day;
In clearest sky,or where clouds thickest be;
In lusty youth,or when my hairs are grey;
Set me in
heaven,in earth,or else in hell,
In hill or dale,or in the foaming flood;
Thrall,or at large,alive whereso I dwell,
Sick or in health,in evil fame or good,
Hers will I be;and only with this thought
Content myself although my chance be nought.
爱的忠诚

无论将我放在烈日烘烤绿地之处,
或是阳光无法融化寒冰之所,
还是让人感到温暖适宜的地方,
无论我的周围是狂人还是智者.
无论让我的身份高低贵贱,
身处无尽的长夜还是短暂的白天,
头顶碧空万里还是乌云密布,
无论风华正茂还是两鬓斑斑.
无论将我置于天堂,人间还是地狱,
在高山还是低谷,或是洪水肆虐,
无论自由还是被奴役,身在何地.
无论患病还是健康,欢乐还是悲伤,
我永远是她的,尽管毫无机会,
但有了这个念头我就非常满意.
Love Me Little, Love Me Long
---By Norton
Love me little,love me long,
Is the burden of my song.
Love that is too hot or strong
Burneth soon to waste.
Still,I would not have thee cold,
Not too backward, nor too ite old
Fadeth not is haste.
Love me little,love me long,
Is the burden of my song.
If thou love metoo much,
It will not prove as true as touch;
Love me little,more than such,
For I fear the end.
I am with little well content,
And a little from thee sent
Is enough,with true intent
To be steadfast friend
Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening
IF you were coming in the fall
---By Emily Dickison
IF you were coming in the
fall,
I'd brush the summer by
With half a smile and half a spurn,
As housewives do a fly.
If I could see you in a year,
I'd wind the months in balls,
And put them each in separate drawers,
Until their time befalls.
If only centuries delayed,
I'd count them on my hand,
Subtracting till my fingers dropped
Into Van Diemen's land.
If certain, when this life was out,
That yours and mine should be,
I'd toss it yonder like a rind,
And taste eternity.
But now, all ignorant of the length
Of time's uncertain wing,
It goads me, like the goblin bee,
That will not state its sting.
The Tide Rises, The Tide Falls
---Henry Wadsworth
Longfellow
The tide rises, the tide falls,
The twilight darkens, the curlew calls;
Along the sea — sands damp and brown
The traveler hastens toward the town,
And the tide rises, the tide falls.
Darkness settles on roofs and
walls,
But the sea, the sea in the darkness calls;
The little waves, with their soft, white hands,
Efface the footprints in the sands,
And the tide rises, the tide falls.
The morning breaks; the steeds in their
stalls
Stamp and neigh, as the hostler calls;
The day returns, but never more
Returns the traveler to the shore,
And the tide rises, the tide falls
So We'll Go No More A-Roving
---George Gordon, Lord Byron
So we'll
go no more a-roving
So late into the night,
Though the heart still be as loving,
And the moon still be as bright.
For the sword outwears its sheath,
And the soul outwears the breast,
And the heart must pause to breathe,
And love itself have rest.
Though the night was made for loving,
And the day returns too soon,
Yet we'll go no more a-roving
By the light of the moon.
She Walks in Beauty
by George Gorden
Byron
She walks in beauty, like the night
Of cloudless climes and starry skies;
And all that’s best of dark and bright
Meet in her aspect and her eyes:
Thus mellow’d to that tender light
Which heaven to gaudy day denies.
One shade the more, one ray the less,
Had half impair’d the nameless grace
Which waves in every raven tress,
Or softly lightens o’er her face;
Where thoughts serenely sweet express
How pure, how dear their dwelling-place.
And on that cheek, and o’er that brow,
So soft, so calm, yet eloquent,
The smiles that win, the tints that glow,
But tell of days in goodness spent,
A mind at peace with all below,
A heart whose love is innocent!
| [align=center] The Beautiful Night by Johann When You Are Old By W. B. Yeats, 1865-1939 When you are old and grey and full of sleep, And nodding by the fire, take down this book, And slowly read, and dream of the soft look Your eyes had once, and of their shadows deep; How many loved your moments of glad grace, And loved your beauty with love false or true, But one man loved the pilgrim Soul in you, And loved the sorrows of your changing face; And bending down beside the glowing bars, Murmur, a little sadly, how Love fled And paced upon the mountains overhead And hid his face amid a crowd of stars.
