英文经典诗歌：To a Friend
: u& H* g( A5 F8 X& Z; y* U- Q
4 C- h* N$ {: q' W　　I ask but one thing of you, only one,
　　That always you will be my dream of you;
: i  A  b2 l$ O% r8 P+ k　　That never shall I wake to find untrue
　　All this I have believed and rested on,
　　Forever vanished, like a vision gone
' A* b' n& H+ {. b4 L9 F　　Out into the night. Alas, how few
9 v. M$ [/ R8 n- _0 F- s　　There are who strike in us a chord we knew
% n( ]8 J+ N; a0 Q　　Existed, but so seldom heard its tone
8 G+ M6 y( r  z; t8 B/ Z$ d$ A　　We tremble at the half-forgotten sound.
　　The world is full of rude awakenings
　　And heaven-born castles shattered to the ground,
　　Yet still our human longing vainly clings
　　To a belief in beauty through all wrongs.
　　O stay your hand, and leave my heart its songs!
