    詩(shī)歌欣賞一:Batuschka
    From yonder gilded minaret
    Beside the steel-blue Neva set,
    I faintly catch, from time to time,
    The sweet, aerial midnight chime——
    "God save the Tsar!"
    Above the ravelins and the moats
    Of the white citadel it floats;
    And men in dungeons far beneath
    Listen, and pray, and gnash their teeth——
    "God save the Tsar!"
    The soft reiterations sweep
    Across the horror of their sleep,
    a term of endearment applied
    to the Tsar in Russian folk-song.
    As if some daemon in his glee
    Were mocking at their misery——
    "God save the Tsar!"
    In his Red Palace over there,
    Wakeful, he needs must hear the prayer.
    How can it drown the broken cries
    Wrung from his children's agonies?——
    "God save the Tsar!"
    Father they called him from of old——
    Batuschka! . . . How his heart is cold!
    Wait till a million scourged men
    Rise in their awful might, and then——
    God save the Tsar!
    詩(shī)歌欣賞二:Camma
    Camma
    (To Ellen Terry)
    As one who poring on a Grecian urn
    Scans the fair shapes some Attic hand hath made,
    God with slim goddess, goodly man with maid,
    And for their beauty's sake is loth to turn
    And face the obvious day, must I not yearn
    For many a secret moon of indolent bliss,
    When in midmost shrine of Artemis
    I see thee standing, antique-limbed, and stern?
    And yet - methinks I'd rather see thee play
    That serpent of old Nile, whose witchery
    Made Emperors drunken, - come, great Egypt, shake
    Our stage with all thy mimic pageants! Nay,
    I am grown sick of unreal passions, make
    The world thine Actium, me thine Anthony!
    詩(shī)歌欣賞三:A Prayer for My Son
    Bid a strong ghost stand at the head
    That my Michael may sleep sound,
    Nor cry, nor turn in the bed
    Till his morning meal come round;
    And may departing twilight keep
    All dread afar till morning‘s back,
    That his mother may not lack
    Her fill of sleep.
    Bid the ghost have sword in fist:
    Some there are, for I avow
    Such devilish things exist,
    Who have planned his murder, for they know
    Of some most haughty deed or thought
    That waits upon his future days,
    And would through hatred of the bays
    Bring that to nought.
    Though You can fashion everything
    From nothing every day, and teach
    The morning stars to sing,
    You have lacked articulate speech
    To tell Your simplest want, and known,
    Wailing upon a woman‘s knee,
    All of that worst ignominy
    Of flesh and bone;
    And when through all the town there ran
    The servants of Your enemy,
    A woman and a man,
    Unless the Holy Writings lie,
    Hurried through the smooth and rough
    And through the fertile and waste,
    Protecting, till the danger past,
    With human love.
    A Path Between Houses
    Where is the dwelling place of light?
    And where is the house of darkness?
    Go about; walk the limits of the land.
    Do you know a path between them?
    The enigma of August.
    Season of dust and teenage arson.
    The nightly whine of pickup trucks
    bouncing through the sumac
    beneath the Co-Operative power lines,
    country & western booming from woofers
    carved into the doors. A trace of smoke
    when the wins shifts,
    spun gravel rattling the fenders of cars,
    the groan of clutch and transaxle,
    pickup trucks, arriving at a friction point,
    gunning from nowhere to nowhere.
    The duets begin. A compact disc,
    a single line of muted trumpet,
    plays against the sirens
    pursuing the smoke of grass fires.
    I love a painter. On a new canvas,
    she paints the neighbor's field.
    She paints it without trees,
    and paints the field beyond the field,
    the field that has no trees,
    and the upturned Jesus boat,
    made into a planter,
    "For God so loved the world. . ."
    a citation from John, chapter and verse,
    splattered across the bow
    the boat spills roses into the weeds.
    What does the stray dog know,
    after a taste of what is holy?
    The sun pulls her shadow toward me,
    an undulant shape that shelters the grass,
    an unaimed thing.
    In the gray house, the tiny house,
    in '52 there was a fire. The old woman,
    drunk and smoking cigarettes, fell asleep.
    The winter of the blizzard and her son
    Not coming home from the Yalu.
    There are times I still smell smoke.
    There are days I know she set the fire
    and why.
    Last night, lightning to the south.
    Here, nothing, though along the river
    the wind upends a willow,
    a gorgon of leaves and bottom-up clod
    browning in the afternoon sun.
    In the museum we dispute
    the poet's epiphany call——
    white light or more warmth?
    And what is the Greek word for the flesh,
    and the body apart from the spirit,
    meaning even the body opposed to the spirit?
    I do not know this word.
    Dante claims there are pools of fire
    in the middle regions of hell,
    but the lowest circles are lakes of ice,
    offering the hope our greatest sins
    aren't the passions but indifference.
    And the willow grew for years
    With no real hold upon the ground.
    How the accident occurred
    and how the sky got dark:
    Six miles from my house,
    a drunk leaves the Holiday Inn
    spins on 104 and smacks a utility pole.
    The power line sparks
    across the hood of his Ford
    and illuminates the crazed spider web
    of the windshield. His bloody tongue burns
    with a slurry gospel. Around me,
    the lights go down,
    the way death is described
    as armor crashing to the ground,
    the soul having already departed
    for another place. Was it his body I heard
    leaning against the horn,
    the body's final song, before the body
    slumped sideways in the seat?
    When I was a child,
    I would wake at night
    and imagine a field of asteroids, rolling
    across the walls of my room.
    In fact, I've seen them,
    like the last herd of buffalo,
    grazing against the background of fixed stars.
    Plate 420 shows the asteroid 433 Eros,
    the bright point of light, as it closes its approach
    to light. I loose myself in Cygnus,
    ancient kamikaze swan,
    rising or diving to earth,
    Draco, snarling at the polestar,
    and Pegasus, stone horse of the gods,
    ecstatic, looking one last time at home.
    August and the enigma it is.
    Days when I move in crabbed circles,
    nights when I walk with Jesus through the fields.
    What finally stands between us
    and the world of flying things?
    Mobbed by jays, the Cooper's hawk
    drops the dead bird. It tumbles
    beneath the cedar tree,
    tiny acrobat of death,
    a dead bird released
    in a failed act of atonement.
