优美英文小诗精选：Leisure　　Leisure, thou goddess of a bygone age,
9 j2 B- s) O- d6 e5 I* i　　When hours were long and days sufficed to hold
　　Wide-eyed delights and pleasures uncontrolled
　　By shortening moments, when no gaunt presage
　　Of undone duties, modern heritage,
$ m: G4 s+ @% `0 K　　Haunted our happy minds; must thou withhold
　　Thy presence from this over-busy world,

　　That sole condition of all loveliness,
8 N8 U1 R! M& l4 X0 V　　The dreaming lapse of slow, unmeasured time.
