经典英语短诗：黑夜的知己
# q3 |  |8 P2 ~) s" m$ h, Z
; h- I. Y6 {, b1 E4 G　　I have been one acquainted with the night.
　　I have walked out in rain --and back in rain.
　　I have outwalked the furthest city light.
/ X8 f: P+ a7 L0 `9 A　　I have looked down the saddest city lane.
　　I have passed by the watchman on his beat
: B4 H! h( f9 b+ y" T　　And dropped my eyes, unwilling to explain.
　　I have stood still and stopped the sound of feet
　　When far away an interrupted cry
　　Came over houses from another street,
　　But not to call me back or say good-bye;
　　And further still at an unearthly height
　　One luminary clock against the sky
  p4 I+ E  @# A  P9 |2 c　　Proclaimed the time was neither wrong nor right.
　　I have been one acquainted with the night.
# q: j* r: @9 z; s# o8 A6 `5 k: c8 T* R　　我以为我早就熟悉这黑夜。
　　我冒雨出去，又冒雨回来。
: `4 R9 U) Q4 G* a8 w; B9 T　　我已越出街灯照亮的边界。
　　我看到城中的小巷最悲惨。
/ ~- i, \# O6 [! [( p& \$ D　　我经过敲更的守夜人身边，
  H: m# h+ R5 M; ^　　我不愿多讲，低垂下眼帘。
　　我停住，脚步再也听不见，
　　从另一条街升起越过屋顶
　　传来一声好似折断的哭喊，
; V4 o4 d$ J0 a- q　　那不是叫我回去或说再见;
　　在更远、远离尘世的高处，
5 i" F- @" ~7 \  a+ O　　有一座钟悬着，一闪一闪，
　　它宣称时间不错又不正确，
8 O( c" k% Q+ s6 O　　我以为我早就熟悉这黑夜。
