经典英文诗歌赏析：Aftermath

　　I learnt to write to you in happier days,
7 o7 `1 j/ F- z　　And every letter was a piece I chipped
, i+ p3 U+ M6 M% e& b& y3 g$ W" M　　From off my heart, a fragment newly clipped
3 n5 R# Y8 n  k# g: q6 c0 f　　From the mosaic of life; its blues and grays,
　　Its throbbing reds, I gave to earn your praise.
　　To make a pavement for your feet I stripped
0 p! v) M$ j5 X( Z　　My soul for you to walk upon, and slipped
　　Beneath your steps to soften all your ways.
; T# k; o7 K) n5 N6 o% l, S　　But now my letters are like blossoms pale
) p; J- p: E4 V+ z4 U& N　　We strew upon a grave with hopeless tears.
　　I ask no recompense, I shall not fail
　　Although you do not heed; the long, sad years
　　Still pass, and still I scatter flowers frail,
# O; E8 }' Y0 W! @　　And whisper words of love which no one hears.
