经典英文诗歌赏析：Aftermath

　　I learnt to write to you in happier days,
　　And every letter was a piece I chipped
& G! V) Q$ |9 d- W7 k; W; |0 g　　From off my heart, a fragment newly clipped
　　From the mosaic of life; its blues and grays,
& X  A) U- |& u6 O4 s　　Its throbbing reds, I gave to earn your praise.
1 ]. u+ P+ v  I# R1 z　　To make a pavement for your feet I stripped
　　My soul for you to walk upon, and slipped
　　Beneath your steps to soften all your ways.
　　But now my letters are like blossoms pale
　　We strew upon a grave with hopeless tears.
4 t6 [( }7 u+ N9 r9 O　　I ask no recompense, I shall not fail
2 v) M1 @& l3 O, J. @9 y* ~; Z　　Although you do not heed; the long, sad years
　　Still pass, and still I scatter flowers frail,
2 M6 f3 R* [" I7 i* d" J8 v/ J& y　　And whisper words of love which no one hears.
