经典英文诗歌：The Starling

0 H/ v8 a2 P& ^/ c4 F6 f　　Forever the impenetrable wall
5 Y* @) B8 J9 Q! f& R　　Of self confines my poor rebellious soul,
　　I never see the towering white clouds roll
' g3 h9 G7 d+ H2 y　　Before a sturdy wind, save through the small
　　Barred window of my jail. I live a thrall
　　With all my outer life a clipped, square hole,
　　Rectangular; a fraction of a scroll
9 b6 V- o4 d5 @+ C0 ^　　Unwound and winding like a worsted ball.
* x" |- r# n4 W# u! f# P: L1 a　　My thoughts are grown uneager and depressed
　　Through being always mine, my fancy's wings
. C4 s. [4 z3 [( U' u　　Are moulted and the feathers blown away.
　　I weary for desires never guessed,
+ P5 m  v4 i6 U* ]" Y3 M$ B　　For alien passions, strange imaginings,
6 G+ f& [# w8 X2 l　　To be some other person for a day.
