国外经典英文短诗：Mirage
8 b2 T, t6 d4 X　　How is it that, being gone, you fill my days,
　　And all the long nights are made glad by thee?
3 n& U/ l; x# }0 o* P/ W1 R1 z0 t　　No loneliness is this, nor misery,
　　But great content that these should be the ways
　　Whereby the Fancy, dreaming as she strays,
( q$ d) w2 h3 M1 S6 H. S) m　　Makes bright and present what she would would be.
　　And who shall say if the reality
8 y7 |) B- Z( z$ h) I  i* }　　Is not with dreams so pregnant. For delays
　　And hindrances may bar the wished-for end;
　　A thousand misconceptions may prevent
　　Our souls from coming near enough to blend;
　　Let me but think we have the same intent,
　　That each one needs to call the other, "friend!"
　　It may be vain illusion. I'm content.
9 d, v7 Y/ t7 b* T6 |+ q
