诗歌写的很好的人英语

Michael Longley

I have flown the Atlantic

To reach you in your chair.

Cuddlingup, we talk about

Flowers, important things,

And hold hands to celebrate

Spring gentian's heavenly

(Strictly speaking) blue.

You grow anemones ,

You say, wind's daughters.

I say the world should name

A flower after you, Stanley.

We read each other poems.

You who'll be a hundred soon

Take forever to sign

My copy of Passing Through.

What flower can I offer you

From Ireland? Bog asphodel

Is the colour of your shirt.

Grass of Parnassus? Mountain

Everlasting in New York?

Your zimmer-gavotte suggests

Madder with its goose-grassy

Tenacity , your age-spots

Winter-flowering mudwort.

But no, no. Let it be

Spring gentian, summer sky

At sunset, Athene's eyes,

Five petals, earthbound star.
