经典英文短诗精选：The Poet　　What instinct forces man to journey on,
* F8 u1 q- D9 a8 D　　Urged by a longing blind but dominant!
& ^$ _( W7 K% f5 D　　Nothing he sees can hold him, nothing daunt
　　His never failing eagerness. The sun
　　Setting in splendour every night has won
　　His vassalage; those towers flamboyant
　　Of airy cloudland palaces now haunt
' Z- M+ ?6 p, [5 [2 E. t* b　　His daylight wanderings. Forever done
　　With simple joys and quiet happiness
7 T$ j' P5 v# |　　He guards the vision of the sunset sky;
2 M7 p( i/ Z! v( P- h$ u( W　　Though faint with weariness he must possess
　　Some fragment of the sunset's majesty;
' J$ ~6 }- K0 U　　He spurns life's human friendships to profess
5 M8 D9 c: m0 h# D& Z　　Life's loneliness of dreaming ecstasy.
