To Spring 頭韻例子

海外逸士

To Spring----a sonnet
Oh you, sweet Spring, alight from cherub's wing,
And put the ugly winter full to flight;
And rouse the Earth to smile, and larks to sing,
With skies so bright and hearts of youth so light.
Your gentle and genial breaths each blossom blow
While bees in gardens hum the lullabies.
The hills and dales are stripp'd of mantles of snow,
And streams and rivers freed from irons of ice.
May seasons all be Spring--the pride of years,
That all the things would e'er in glories gleam!
May men be ever in the prime of years!
But dream, however sweet, is but a dream.
If happy when you come and sad when gone,
Would that you'd never come or never gone!

学习。请问海外先生：这是谁的作品？
                    当代英美诗人还写这种格律诗吗？

海外逸士

不过 我还是有一大堆问题要请教海外老师-----
1 With skies so bright and hearts of youth so light.
    为何用skies 不用sky
2 Your gentle and genial breaths each blossom blow
    I wonder if it means 你温柔而亲切的气息吹开每一朵花
3 stripp'd  e'er  
    关于缩略字母 一直是我头痛的
  请问 常见的缩略字母有哪些？
  运用它们时该注意什么？
4  in the prime;  With skies;  larks;
    冠词的使用除了遵循基本语法 在诗歌中是不是也另有讲究？
5 If happy when you come and sad when gone,
   Would that you'd never come or never gone!
   see my translation ( first version :D )
   若你高兴的来难过的走
  你是否将永不再来 或永不离开!
   I got it?
6   最后一个问题---
    最后一句为何叹号结尾！:D
