A Spring Morning
By Meng Haoran
This spring morning in bed I’m lying,
Not to awake till birds are crying.
After one night of wind and showers,
How many are the fallen flowers!
Translated by Xu Yuanchong

Dreams
By Langston Hughes
Hold fast to dreams
For if dreams die
Life is a broken-winged bird
That cannot fly
Hold fast to dreams
For when dreams go
Life is a barren field
Frozen with snow

Sweet and low, sweet and low,
Wind of the western sea,
Low, low, breathe and blow,
Wind of the western sea.
Over the rolling waters go;
Come from the dying moon, and blow,
Blow him again to me,
While my little one, while my pretty one sleeps.
(From “Sweet and Low”
by Alfred Tennyson)
轻轻地，柔和地，轻轻地，柔和地，
西方吹来海风；
轻轻地，柔和地吹拂，
西方吹来海风！
西边吹来，月色朦胧，
吹过波涛汹涌；
吹得他回家呵，
亲亲睡着的宝宝，可爱的宝贝。
The caged bird sings
with a fearful trill
of things unknown
but longed for still
and his tune is heard
on the distant hill
for the caged bird
sings of freedom.
(From “Caged Bird”
by Maya Angelou)

Whose woods these are I think I know.
His house is in the village though;
He will not see me stopping here
To watch his woods fill up with snow.
From “Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening” by Robert Frost
Please choose one of the poems in the lecture transcript and think about the sound and sense of the poem.
The poem by Maya Angelou describes the image of a caged bird wanting to be free. The lines are short and simple, which makes the message more direct and powerful. The short lines could also imply the sense of being in a small cage with very little space to fly around in. This does not stop the bird from singing though, and by repeating the sound of some words: “trill”, “still”, and “hill” I can imagine the sound that the bird makes it sings its lonely song. “Caged Bird” reminds me of the possibilities we have in life and that we should look past our current limitations.
Please give some other tips on how to read a poem.
From my point of view, to understand a poem better, we should also know more about the poet and the background in which the poem was created — the theme of a poem usually has a close relationship with the background in which the poet wrote it.
