经典英文诗歌赏析：Aftermath
' \# A$ H) p2 M+ e$ f* Q" |
　　I learnt to write to you in happier days,
! m/ K: n- v: J& @* A* h　　And every letter was a piece I chipped
5 z0 a* c8 X0 |6 s　　From off my heart, a fragment newly clipped
) d5 n+ B2 o+ {　　From the mosaic of life; its blues and grays,
! J  e  |/ S! g) j& e/ H+ O　　Its throbbing reds, I gave to earn your praise.
6 U! w( p" B+ A: m' K　　To make a pavement for your feet I stripped
; j8 T" E$ g. f" U( h! a1 }9 w　　My soul for you to walk upon, and slipped
( S# z" f9 [1 i+ l7 U2 n' h8 H　　Beneath your steps to soften all your ways.
　　But now my letters are like blossoms pale
　　We strew upon a grave with hopeless tears.
8 K; c- |6 a! f0 [0 X6 ]/ F3 c　　I ask no recompense, I shall not fail
　　Although you do not heed; the long, sad years
% S. {& O8 z% n　　Still pass, and still I scatter flowers frail,
　　And whisper words of love which no one hears.
