Poetry should always be read aloud, as that is when you can hear the music of the words. When reading poetry aloud, start slowly. Find and emphasise the rhythm of the words. Begin to think about how the poem makes you feel – happy, sad, in love – and read the poem with emotion, pouring out your feelings.
Read poetry aloud
Enjoy a video about the poem.
I breathed a song into the air,
It fell to earth, I knew no where;
For who has sight so keen and strong,
That it can follow the flight of song
Long, long afterwards, in an oak
I found the arrow, still unbroke;
And the song, from beginning to end,
I found again in the heart of a friend.
THE ARROW AND THE SONG
I shot an arrow into the air,
It fell to earth, I knew not where;
For, so swiftly it flew, the sight
Could not follow it in its flight.
H. W. Longfellow
箭与歌
且放一箭射入空,
落入尘世无所踪。
逃离视线风一阵,
无处寻觅轨迹同。
奏歌一曲为天颂,
飘入尘世无所踪。
何人眼锐光如束,
寻得歌声航向重。
久之偶遇橡树上,
铮箭锋锐利如初。
歌声婉转始至终,
如得旧友是梦中。
H.W.朗费罗
NIGHT
The sun descending in the west,
The evening star does shine;
The birds are silent in their nest,
And I must seek for mine.
The moon, like a flower,
In heaven’s high bower,
With silent delight,
Sits and smiles on the night.
Farewell, green fields and happy groves,
Where flocks have took delight.
Where lambs have nibbled, silent moves
The feet of angels bright;
Unseen, they pour blessing,
And joy without ceasing,
On each bud and blossom,
And each sleeping bosom.
William Blake
夜
太阳沉落在西方,
晚星的光芒四射;
鸟儿在巢里无声响,
我也要寻觅我的巢。
月亮像一朵花,
在天庭中高挂,
沉默的愉快逍遥,
坐着对夜晚微笑。
再见,绿色的田野,
欢腾的小树林,
在那里羊群多么开心。
在那里小羊把青草啃
天使的脚步如此轻盈;
他们暗中洒下祝福,
不停地给予欢欣鼓舞,
给每一朵花每一颗蓓蕾,
每一颗心正在安睡.
---威廉·布莱克
