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
5 [# g/ }+ D& X　　By shortening moments, when no gaunt presage
　　Of undone duties, modern heritage,
　　Haunted our happy minds; must thou withhold
2 P% S% A6 N5 o) f$ r4 S! P4 o　　Thy presence from this over-busy world,
8 B, O; ~, ]" q3 |" ?! l　　And bearing silence with thee disengage
) _: Q0 C3 q1 [: r& d　　Our twined fortunes? Deeps of unhewn woods
　　Alone can cherish thee, alone possess
　　Thy quiet, teeming vigor. This our crime:
　　Not to have worshipped, marred by alien moods
4 t8 }7 O3 o& Q1 V# G6 T" d1 E　　That sole condition of all loveliness,
9 t4 ]3 f; X3 i1 u- m$ T8 J　　The dreaming lapse of slow, unmeasured time.
