Dust of Snow- by Robert Frost

The way a crow Shook down on me The dust of snow From a hemlock

tree

Has given my heart A change of mood And saved some

part Of a day I had rued

铁杉树上

一只乌鸦

抖落雪尘

撒我一身

我的心情

因此变化

一天的懊丧

已不再留下

RIGHT HERE WAITING- by Richard Marx

Oceans apart, day after day,

And I slowly go insane.

I hear your voice on the line,

But it doesn't stop the pain.

If I see you next to never,

How can I say forever?

Wherever you go, whatever you do,

I will be right here waiting for you;

whatever it takes, or how my heart breaks,

I will be right here waiting for you.

远隔重洋，日复一日

思念几乎使我发狂

尽管电话中听到了你的声音

但却摆脱不了痛苦

如果从此再也不能相见

我们又怎么能说相爱到永远

无论你到何方，无论你在做什么

我都会在此等你

无论付出怎样的代价

哪怕使我心碎

我也会在此等你

English poems

Twinkle, twinkle, little star,

How I wonder what you are.

Up above the world so high,

Like a diamond in the sky.

Twinkle, twinkle, little star,

How I wonder what you are!

Then the traveler in the darkThanks you for your tiny

spark;He could not see which way to

go,If you did not twinkle so.

Twinkle, twinkle, little star,How I wonder what you are!

When the blazing sun is gone,

When he nothing shines upon,

Then you show your little light,

Twinkle, twinkle, all the night.

Twinkle, twinkle, little star,How I wonder what you are!

This poem is about the stars in the sky. When I read the poem, it seems that a clear picture is shown before me. In the dark sky of night, there are thousands of little stars that twinkle in the sky. They are far away from me, perhaps thousands of millions of miles away. I want very much to go further and see clearly what they are like. But I can’t. I can only see them like diamonds in my story books. When I read the poem, I feel very happy and comfortable. Nature is beautiful and mysterious whether in the day or at night. There are many, many things like stars in the sky waiting for us to discover.
