优美英文小诗精选：Leisure　　Leisure, thou goddess of a bygone age,
　　When hours were long and days sufficed to hold
　　Wide-eyed delights and pleasures uncontrolled
; U! l7 T: @+ L+ `2 n　　By shortening moments, when no gaunt presage
　　Of undone duties, modern heritage,
　　Haunted our happy minds; must thou withhold
# d9 y% C1 ]* _4 ~" E- x* N; A　　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
. w) a# {5 G: {  s+ u　　Thy quiet, teeming vigor. This our crime:
/ t: j8 L# F! |* c　　Not to have worshipped, marred by alien moods
　　That sole condition of all loveliness,
& y8 I( b) }# X. Y9 y　　The dreaming lapse of slow, unmeasured time.
