Some English poems and songs

有的事情虽然做过了却不为人所知，但是这并不重要，重要的是我已经做过，并且从中获得了许多。

I leave no trace of wings in the air,

but I am glad I have had my

flight. (Fireflies by Tagore)

2. 天空没有翅膀的痕迹，而我已飞过。

To My Mother

You too,my mother,read my rhymes

For love of unforgotten times

And you may chance to hear once more

The little feet along the floor

Devotion

The heart can think of no devotion

Greater than being shore to the ocean---

Holding the curve of one position

Counting an endless repetition

Rain

The rain is raining all around,

It falls on field and tree,

It rains on the umbrellas here,

And on the ships at sea.

We are Seven

A simple child,

That lightly draws its breath

And feels its life in every limb,

What should it know of death?

Fog

(Carl Sandburg)

雾

雾来了似小猫儿步履悄悄 .

它轻轻坐下静静地俯视着港口与市镇然后又移动向前 .

The fog comes on little cat feet.

It sits looking over harbor and city on silent haunchesand then moves on.

Twinkle, twinkle, little star!

How I wonder what you are,

When the traveler in the dark,

Thanks for your tiny spark,

He could not see which way to go,

If you do not twinkle so

'Though I know not what you are

Twinkle, twinkle, little star!

Twinkle, twinkle, little star(by Jane Taylor, 1783-1824 )

(1) Twinkle, twinkle, little star!

How I wonder what you are,

Up above the earth so high,

Like a diamond in the sky. (2)

Twinkle, twinkle, little star!

How I wonder what you are,

When the blazing sun is gone,

When he nothing shines upon,

Then you show your little light,

Twinkle, twinkle all the night.

Let's start at the very beginning

A very good place to start

When you read you begin with A-B-C

When you sing you begin with do-re-mi

Do-re-mi, do-re-mi

The first three notes just happen to be

Do-re-mi, do-re-mi

Do-re-mi-fa-so-la-ti-do

Doe, a deer, a female deer

Ray, a drop of golden sun

Me, a name I call myself

Far, a long, long way to run

Sew, a needle pulling thread

La, a note to follow Sew

Tea, a drink with jam and bread

That will bring us back to Do (oh-oh-oh)

Do-re-mi-fa-so-la-ti-do

So-do!

Do-Re-Mi

轻轻的我走了， 正如我轻轻的来， 我轻轻的招手， 作别西天的云彩。

那河畔上的金柳 是夕阳中的新娘 波光里的艳影， 在我的心头荡漾。 软泥上的青荇， 油油的在水底招摇； 在康河的柔波里， 我甘心做一条水草。

再别康桥 Goodbye Again, Cambridge!

I leave softly, gently,Exactly as I came.I wave to the western sky,Telling it goodbye softly, gently.

The golden willow at the river edgeIs the setting sun‘s bride.Her quivering reflectionStays fixed in my mind.

……

悄悄的我走了，

正如我悄悄的来；

我挥一挥衣袖，

不带走一片云彩。

I leave quietly

As I came quietly.

I am leaving

Without taking so much

As a piece of cloud.

But with a quick jerk of my sleave

I wave goodbye.

Ode( 赞歌） to a Goldfish

(by Gyles Brandreth)

Spring is green,

Summer is bright,

Autumn is gold,

Winter is white.

Year in year out,

We work and fight,

For a new world, of red sunlight.

O

Wet

Pet!
