晨读英文经典诗歌：Leisure

9 \8 h4 I1 u+ V# l9 c　　Leisure, thou goddess of a bygone age,
　　When hours were long and days sufficed to hold
& A% k$ y# I( M3 T1 M　　Wide-eyed delights and pleasures uncontrolled
  W- D; S2 I5 e7 J　　By shortening moments, when no gaunt presage
　　Of undone duties, modern heritage,
" |7 Q) T  ]1 a: N% x　　Haunted our happy minds; must thou withhold
% Y- I" _- d8 m) I　　Thy presence from this over-busy world,
　　And bearing silence with thee disengage
, K+ I, z$ \- e1 J' O* e) q　　Our twined fortunes? Deeps of unhewn woods
　　Alone can cherish thee, alone possess
6 \8 T( S! u+ ^, E% `/ k) S+ Q　　Thy quiet, teeming vigor. This our crime:
4 L: z$ z* |5 _6 a　　Not to have worshipped, marred by alien moods
　　That sole condition of all loveliness,
　　The dreaming lapse of slow, unmeasured time.
