A Tranquil Night
Before my bed a frost of light,

Head bent, in homesickness,
I am drowned.

Understanding Poetry
Poetry is a form of literature that is usually written in lines and stanzas (诗节).
Words in a poem are put in a special way to make a rhythm (a regular repeated pattern of sounds).
The theme of a poem is often shown by images and through literary devices (e.g. simile, personification, metaphor, exaggeration).
What typical language features do you often find in poems
In winter In spring In summer In autumn
Watch us go, My shoes are wet. By the sea, Trees are brown,
Making footprints See how deep Sandy footprints I kick the leaves
In the snow. The puddles get. Made by me. All over town.

Wild horses couldn’t drag me away.

这首《雪夜林前小驻》所描写的情景不用解释,但它后面的情趣、哲理、魅力,需要细细品位。我独自站在树林边沿,里面有一种东西在吸引我,但不能光听内心世界的召唤,我还要许多世间的约会、责任,“路迢途远岂敢酣眠”,这里的“眠”既是陶醉,又是安静,或是心灵的平静。一个情景,引起人无限遐想,每个人会根据自己的经历体会无数个生活背后的韵味。

水仙花(威廉华兹华斯)
我孤独地漫游,像一朵云
在山丘和谷地上飘荡,
忽然间我看见一群
金色的水仙花迎春开放,
在树荫下,在湖水边,
迎着微风起舞翩翩。
连绵不绝,如繁星灿烂,
在银河里闪闪发光,
它们沿着湖湾的边缘
延伸成无穷无尽的一行;
我一眼看见了一万朵,
在欢舞之中起伏颠簸。

粼粼波光也在跳着舞,
水仙的欢欣却胜过水波;
与这样快活的伴侣为伍,
诗人怎能不满心欢乐!
我久久凝望,却想象不到
这奇景赋予我多少财宝:
每当我躺在床上不眠,
或心神空茫,或默默沉思,
它们常在心灵中闪现,
那是孤独之中的福祉;
于是我的心便涨满幸福,
和水仙一同翩翩起舞

华兹华斯关于自然的诗歌,优美动人,他的这类诗歌的一个突出特点就是——寓情于景,情景交融。
作者通过对英格兰北部的春天湖边的水仙花的描写,表现了人与自然的交流,诗人从中找到了未泯的童心,窥见了一种永恒的生机。
每节诗中一三行、二四行、五六行分别押韵,格调清新欢快,优美流畅。
本诗由景及情,从第三诗节开始由景色想到旅伴,于是水仙怒放转成了心花怒放,自然美景与心灵感受浑然一体。一贯主张回到自然的诗人借这首诗表达了人性的复归,人与自然息息相通,自然界的快乐和人间的快乐架起了互通的桥梁。
