石头上的影子The Shadow on the Stone（2/2）

I went by the Druid stone

That broodsthe garden white and lone,

And I sped and looked at the shiftg shadows,

That at so onts fall thereon

Fro the tree hard by with a rhythic sg,

And they shapedy iagg

To the shade that a well-known head and shoulders

Threw there when she was gardeng.

I thought her behd y back,

Yea, her I long had learo ck,

And I said:“I a sure you are standg behd ,

Though how do you get to this old track?”

And there was no sound but the fall of a leaf

As a sad response; and to keep down y grief

I would not turn y head to disver

That there was nothgy belief.

Yet I wao look and see

That nobody stood at the back of ;

But I thought once ore:“Nay, I’ll not unvision

Ashape which, sohow, there ay be.”

So I went on softly fro the gde,

A her behdthrog her shade,

As she were deed all apparition—

My head unturned lest y drea should fade.

作品赏析

作者将心中的“她”描写得若隐若现，反而增加了“她”的神秘感，“我”也在犹豫，“她”是否存在，却还是不忍探究，怕会打碎这个美丽的梦境。
