英文经典诗歌：To a Friend

$ x' `- T! D4 C4 ~# A7 _8 h6 x3 m　　I ask but one thing of you, only one,
　　That always you will be my dream of you;
　　That never shall I wake to find untrue
4 d1 l4 S2 d9 L. O! s" o+ I6 b　　All this I have believed and rested on,
　　Forever vanished, like a vision gone
" p0 X4 F: z6 W# h3 |　　Out into the night. Alas, how few
/ w6 D( L2 n5 P4 M　　There are who strike in us a chord we knew
　　Existed, but so seldom heard its tone
　　We tremble at the half-forgotten sound.
6 h$ k" E7 {, T% n0 }* n　　The world is full of rude awakenings
1 u0 R; N, |  h; Z2 f　　And heaven-born castles shattered to the ground,
/ g- @! a! H3 v, \' w. U. S　　Yet still our human longing vainly clings
0 [  {& F- q% u9 d　　To a belief in beauty through all wrongs.
　　O stay your hand, and leave my heart its songs!
