经典英文诗歌赏析：Aftermath
1 m8 s! x7 W* e3 d9 _) L
　　I learnt to write to you in happier days,
. J" C/ F* m9 S. C) D! D+ q" ?/ ~　　And every letter was a piece I chipped
　　From off my heart, a fragment newly clipped
0 i* Y7 J& d% R2 B+ f# n9 {　　From the mosaic of life; its blues and grays,
　　Its throbbing reds, I gave to earn your praise.
* F4 r( W+ B' C1 u: }7 u3 k; T' s; ~　　To make a pavement for your feet I stripped
　　My soul for you to walk upon, and slipped
　　Beneath your steps to soften all your ways.
　　But now my letters are like blossoms pale
　　We strew upon a grave with hopeless tears.
　　I ask no recompense, I shall not fail
# s+ n* e8 ~% M' w　　Although you do not heed; the long, sad years
　　Still pass, and still I scatter flowers frail,
% q. A* S7 g7 J# Y. J4 W0 g) l1 X　　And whisper words of love which no one hears.
