优美英文小诗精选：Leisure　　Leisure, thou goddess of a bygone age,
) g" f5 v2 t  g# ~/ ^- r　　When hours were long and days sufficed to hold
　　Wide-eyed delights and pleasures uncontrolled
% k- d6 U# J* p  l7 ?0 C' l　　By shortening moments, when no gaunt presage
　　Of undone duties, modern heritage,
0 E/ Q6 T' [! ^' j6 m$ @　　Haunted our happy minds; must thou withhold
! A" t/ E3 p: A　　Thy presence from this over-busy world,
+ ]5 s( c- h: f' _　　And bearing silence with thee disengage
　　Our twined fortunes? Deeps of unhewn woods
" T5 H  x( E# |; z: x% f　　Alone can cherish thee, alone possess
6 y% F, P# `3 V/ @2 ]　　Thy quiet, teeming vigor. This our crime:
0 Q; x' B8 n' V& O% ?　　Not to have worshipped, marred by alien moods
2 L# e1 V2 Z% f1 }9 N　　That sole condition of all loveliness,
　　The dreaming lapse of slow, unmeasured time.
