优美英文小诗精选：Leisure　　Leisure, thou goddess of a bygone age,
　　When hours were long and days sufficed to hold

　　By shortening moments, when no gaunt presage
　　Of undone duties, modern heritage,
# M' x- \; q8 f! W  w2 h　　Haunted our happy minds; must thou withhold
; Y! J7 `  F' l　　Thy presence from this over-busy world,
3 Q& y; w# P5 M6 i　　And bearing silence with thee disengage
+ S+ u1 E& C" |/ S3 w　　Our twined fortunes? Deeps of unhewn woods
. j0 Q/ p$ N, a  i: Q& X' E5 w' L　　Alone can cherish thee, alone possess
　　Thy quiet, teeming vigor. This our crime:
" @$ l6 K4 `" c1 v, G7 \　　Not to have worshipped, marred by alien moods
　　That sole condition of all loveliness,
- R' p; s/ f% g" b& `　　The dreaming lapse of slow, unmeasured time.
