¡¡¡¡The Nightjar
¡¡¡¡We loved our nightjar£¬ but she would not stay with us.
¡¡¡¡We had found her lying as dead£¬ but soft and warm£¬
¡¡¡¡Under the apple tree beside the old thatched wall.
¡¡¡¡Two days we kept her in a basket by the fire£¬
¡¡¡¡Fed her and thought she well might live £¿ till suddenly
¡¡¡¡I the very moment of most confiding hope
¡¡¡¡She arised herself all tense£¬ qivered and drooped and died.
¡¡¡¡Tears sprang into my eyes- why not£¿ The heart of man
¡¡¡¡Soon sets itself to love a living companion£¬
¡¡¡¡The more so if by chance it asks some care of him.
¡¡¡¡And this one had the kind of loveliness that goes
¡¡¡¡Far deeper than the optic nerve- full fathom five
¡¡¡¡To the soul’socean cave£¬ where Wonder and Reason
¡¡¡¡Tell their alternate dreams of how the world was made.
¡¡¡¡So wonderful she was-her wings the wings of night
¡¡¡¡But powdered here and therewith tiny golden clouds
¡¡¡¡And wave-line markings like sea-ripples on the sand.
¡¡¡¡O how I wish I might never forget that bird-
¡¡¡¡Never£¡
¡¡¡¡But even now£¬ like all beauty of earth£¬
¡¡¡¡She is fading from me into the dusk of Time.
