经典英文短诗精选：The Poet　　What instinct forces man to journey on,
2 A& B, t" g/ L! U　　Urged by a longing blind but dominant!
　　Nothing he sees can hold him, nothing daunt
& H$ X% F9 {$ m  M0 J& e6 s* o　　His never failing eagerness. The sun
　　Setting in splendour every night has won
; R: q* M8 v9 |( Z　　His vassalage; those towers flamboyant
7 q0 a- k, I/ d( ^. m& C　　Of airy cloudland palaces now haunt
　　His daylight wanderings. Forever done
　　With simple joys and quiet happiness
　　He guards the vision of the sunset sky;
% M3 n7 R- K3 v　　Though faint with weariness he must possess
　　Some fragment of the sunset's majesty;
　　He spurns life's human friendships to profess
6 g2 o9 a6 b- b; j! P& ~: Z7 i. C　　Life's loneliness of dreaming ecstasy.
