Apples
Gillian Clarke
They fill with heat, dewfall, a night of rain.
In a week they have reddened, the seed gone black
in each star-heart. Soft thud of fruit
in the deepening heat of the day.
Out of the delicate petals1 of secret skin
and that irreversible moment when the fruit set,
such a hard harvest, so cold and sharp on the tongue.
They look up from the grass, too many to save.
A lapful of windfalls with worms in their hearts,
under my thumb the pulse of original sin,
flesh going brown as the skin curls over my knife.
I drown them in water and wine, pushing them under,
then breathe apples simmering in sugar and spice,
fermenting under the tree in sacs of juice
so swollen2 they'd burst under a wasp's foot.

I think that I shall never see 我想我从未见过一首
A poem lovely as a tree. 美如玉树的诗章。

A tree whose hungry mouth is prest 一棵张着饥饿嘴巴的树，
against the earth's sweet flowing breast; 紧压在大地甘美而流畅的*上;

A tree that looks at God all day, 一棵整天望着神的树，
And lifts her leafy arms to pray; 举起枝叶繁茂的手臂来祈祷;

A tree that may in summer wear 一棵树在夏日里可能
A nest of robins in her hair; 戴着一窝知更鸟在头发上;

Upon whose bosom snow has lain; 雪花堆积在她的怀抱里;
Who intimately lives with the rain. 雨水也和她亲切地生活在一起。

Poems are made by fools like me, 像我这样愚笨的人可以做诗，
But only God can make a tree. 但唯有神方能造树。

【篇三】初中短篇英文诗歌阅读
My Heart Leaps Up 我心雀跃
My heart leaps up when I behold 当天边彩虹映入眼帘，
A rainbow in the sky: 我心为之雀跃;
So was it when my life began; 初生时即如此，
So is it now I am a man; 我现在仍不变，
So be it when I shall grow old, 将来也会如此，
Or let me die! 否则我宁愿死去!
The Child is father of the Man; 儿童是成人之父;
And I could wish my days to be愿自然虔诚的意念，将我生涯的每个日子连串起来。
Bound each to each by natural piety. 自幼至老，深信不移。
by William Wordsworth, 1770-1850
