优美英文小诗精选：Leisure　　Leisure, thou goddess of a bygone age,
1 H7 x; w, p3 }# R. S2 w) u3 K　　When hours were long and days sufficed to hold
, B: r" X5 d2 r' l1 Y$ ]4 u　　Wide-eyed delights and pleasures uncontrolled
, z. |7 o8 X# I' d　　By shortening moments, when no gaunt presage
　　Of undone duties, modern heritage,
　　Haunted our happy minds; must thou withhold
' o$ }9 b+ R& \* T, Q　　Thy presence from this over-busy world,
" [1 k* R" o- O　　And bearing silence with thee disengage
　　Our twined fortunes? Deeps of unhewn woods
　　Alone can cherish thee, alone possess
　　Thy quiet, teeming vigor. This our crime:
　　Not to have worshipped, marred by alien moods
　　That sole condition of all loveliness,
" B+ C, D' Q- H' d　　The dreaming lapse of slow, unmeasured time.
