英文小诗赏析:A Prayer on Going into My House

  God grant a blessing on this tower and cottage
          And on my heirs, if all remain unspoiled,
          No table or chair or stool not simple enough
          For shepherd lads in Galilee; and grant
          That I myself for portions of the year
          May handle nothing and set eyes on nothing
          But what the great and passionate have used
          Throughout so many varying centuries
          We take it for the norm; yet should I dream
          Sinbad the sailor‘s brought a painted chest,
          Or image, from beyond the Loadstone Mountain,
          That dream is a norm; and should some limb of the devil
          Destroy the view by cutting down an ash
          That shades the road, or setting up a cottage
          Planned in a government office, shorten his life,
          Manacle his soul upon the Red Sea bottom.
