晨读英文经典诗歌：Leisure

　　Leisure, thou goddess of a bygone age,
7 g$ h1 s" e4 _1 O; L$ R　　When hours were long and days sufficed to hold
/ d0 s- H1 J# m2 _8 \. ?# W　　Wide-eyed delights and pleasures uncontrolled
　　By shortening moments, when no gaunt presage
1 m/ X0 Q$ [' y2 O! U　　Of undone duties, modern heritage,
　　Haunted our happy minds; must thou withhold
1 o, g9 ^3 R# e9 V　　Thy presence from this over-busy world,
　　And bearing silence with thee disengage
　　Our twined fortunes? Deeps of unhewn woods
　　Alone can cherish thee, alone possess
* x3 c" a  s, n　　Thy quiet, teeming vigor. This our crime:
. }; g; f: p9 `9 F　　Not to have worshipped, marred by alien moods
　　That sole condition of all loveliness,
) p6 p% g0 t$ `9 b5 F　　The dreaming lapse of slow, unmeasured time.
