经典英文短诗精选：The Poet　　What instinct forces man to journey on,
　　Urged by a longing blind but dominant!
　　Nothing he sees can hold him, nothing daunt
) t- K8 D8 v6 [/ f7 W　　His never failing eagerness. The sun
- _" f3 G/ B) o$ `$ ?% ~　　Setting in splendour every night has won
　　His vassalage; those towers flamboyant
! a  @, L- M, z3 ?　　Of airy cloudland palaces now haunt
　　His daylight wanderings. Forever done
　　With simple joys and quiet happiness
; T; M* B7 x5 b/ r) b8 L& S5 Q　　He guards the vision of the sunset sky;
　　Though faint with weariness he must possess
4 h7 B2 V' |- I3 E1 M4 {　　Some fragment of the sunset's majesty;
　　He spurns life's human friendships to profess
　　Life's loneliness of dreaming ecstasy.
