I Remember, I Remember
Thomas Hood
I remember, I remember
The house where I was born,
The little window where the sun
Came peeping in at morn;
He never came a wink too soon
Nor brought to long a day;
But now, I often wish the night
Had borne my breath away.
I remember, I remember
The roses, red and white,
The violets, and the lily-cups
Those flowers made of light!
The lilacs where the robin built,
And where my brother set
The laburnum on his birth-day,
The tree is living yet!
I remember, I remember
Where I used to swing,
And thought the air must rush as fresh
To swallows on the wing;
My spirit flew in feathers then
That is so heavy now,
And summer pools could hardly cool
The fever on my brow.
I remember, I remember
The fir trees dark and high;
I used to think their slender tops
Were close against the sky:
It was childish ignorance,
But now 'tis little joy
To know I'm farther off from Heaven
Than when I was a boy.
在每一节,诗人通过今与昔、欢乐与痛苦的对比,来表达他对现实的不满和无奈。所以前面都语速轻快,面对微笑;but now之后就声音沉重,可以皱一皱眉头。最后一节的最后一句话 (To know I'm farther off from Heaven;Than when I was a boy)要更加突出,读得慢一点。
背景音乐 选《Spa深度睡眠音乐》专辑的《细水流长》轻音乐吧。
以上纯属个人建议
《The Truth that you leave》 Pianoboy的
卡农,纯钢琴曲~
