English love poems （十一）

1.You smiled and talked to me

Of nothing and I felt

That for this I had waiting long.

——Tagore

2. Oread

Whirl up, sea,

Whirl your great pines

On our rocks,

Hurl your green over us

Cover is with your pools of fur

——Hilda Diilittle

3. On Eating and Drinking

And in winter, when you draw the wine,

let there be in your heart a song for each cup;

And let there be in the song a remembrance for the autumn days,

and for the vineyard, and for the winepress.

——Gibran

4.That I exist is a perpetual

surprise which is life

——Tagore

5.It was only a bird call at evening, unidentified.

As I came from the spring with water, across the rocky back-pasture;

But I stood so still sky above was not stiller than sky in pail-water,

Years pass, all places and faces fade, some people have died;

And I stand in a far land, the evening still, and I am at least sure that I miss more that stillness at bird-call than some things that were to fail later.

——Robert Pen Warren
