经典优美英文诗歌篇一
Of Politics, & Art
by Norman Dubie
学习啦在线学习网 Here, on the farthest point of the peninsula
The winter storm
学习啦在线学习网 Off the Atlantic shook the schoolhouse.
Mrs. Whitimore, dying
Of tuberculosis, said it would be after dark
Before the snowplow and bus would reach us.
She read to us from Melville.
How in an almost calamitous moment
学习啦在线学习网 Of sea hunting
Some men in an open boat suddenly found themselves
At the still and protected center
Of a great herd of whales
Where all the females floated on their sides
学习啦在线学习网 While their young nursed there. The cold frightened whalers
Just stared into what they allowed
Was the ecstatic lapidary pond of a nursing cow's
One visible eyeball.
And they were at peace with themselves.
Today I listened to a woman say
That Melville might
Be taught in the next decade. Another woman asked, "And why not?"
学习啦在线学习网 The first responded, "Because there are
No women in his one novel."
学习啦在线学习网 And Mrs. Whitimore was now reading from the Psalms.
Coughing into her handkerchief. Snow above the windows.
There was a blue light on her face, breasts and arms.
学习啦在线学习网 Sometimes a whole civilization can be dying
Peacefully in one young woman, in a small heated room
With thirty children
学习啦在线学习网 Rapt, confident and listening to the pure
God rendering voice of a storm

Pledge
by Elizabeth Powell
Republic, your cool hands On my schoolgirl shoulders.
Not sure what allegiances meant Until the vows were held by heart,By memory, byrote, by benign betrothal.
Republic, you were mine, I knew Because of Mother's religious pamphlets:Lindsay for Mayor.
McGovern for President.
学习啦在线学习网 How to Register Voters.
I didn't ever want to go to school On Saturdays. The baby-sitter said If Nixon won, I'd have to go. Me,Your most cherished child bride.
学习啦在线学习网 I wanted a white communion dress Like the ones the Catholic girls wore.
学习啦在线学习网 Republic, you know I wanted to play Cards with Mother. Mother smoking Marlboros, watching Watergate all week.
Citizen Mother all consumed at that confessional.
学习啦在线学习网 I liked the name Betsy Ross.
I liked the idea of sewing flags.
I liked the tattered textbook about the colonies.
So tender, so tender. My Republic,I am pledged by my childish troth So strangely to you.

Of Seals, and Our Smiles
学习啦在线学习网 by Michael Benedikt
The last time they did any harm to anyone was probably thousands
学习啦在线学习网 of years ago;therefore we catch them and cut them up into coats,
学习啦在线学习网 Their frolicsomeness, too, sliced up by contemptuous human analysis;
Yes, through the binoculars of the human in the dinghy,
学习啦在线学习网 like a text beneath some mad scientist's magnifying-glass
The seals as they cavort, tend to scan like some pre-prepared,
学习啦在线学习网 allegedly amusing, and gloriously convenient gloss which only tells us
That the weak are only here on this our sad planet to be hurt.
学习啦在线学习网 The last time they did any harm to anyone was probably thousands
of years ago;therefore we find them in the circus,
学习啦在线学习网 like purportedly hilarious characters, forced by us to be terribly funny
学习啦在线学习网 On multicolored stands, noses pressed up against old auto-horns,
Falling all over themselves, and performing national anthems such
as "God Bless America"; "God Save The King"; and, sometimes,
occasionally still, "The Internationale"
Half-Starved for a half-rotten fish, and the target
Of our ancient disrespect, secret loathing,
and finally outright public contempt
Since the weak are only here on this our sad planet to be hurt.
Gaze, gaze again, oh Humans of Goodwill,
upon more of what even our children typically can see
Examine, for example, the sight of a seal coming out of its
学习啦在线学习网 little white hut in a crowded city zoo;
and then, as it raises its remaining nose to sniff the city air
Slipping on a banana-peel; and, oh yes, let's examine all the
学习啦在线学习网 uproarious reactions to that, as the creature falls
For as long as the weak are only here on this our sad planet to be hurt

Early, early in de morn.
