考研英语作文1100字：孤独的割麦女(The Solitary Reaper) stop here, or gently pass! alone she cuts and binds the grain, and sings a melancholy strain; o listen! for the vale profound is overflowing with the sound. no nightingale did ever chaunt more welcome notes to weary bands of travelers in some shady haunt, among arabian sands; a voice so thrilling neer was heard in spring-time from the cuckoo-bird, breaking the silence of the seas among the farthest hebrides. will no one tell me what she sings?— perhaps the plaintive numbers flow for old, unhappy, far-off things, and battles long ago; or is it some more humble lay, familiar matter of to-day? some natural sorrow, loss, or pain, that has been, and may be again? whateer the theme, the maiden sang as if her song could have no ending; i saw her singing at her work, and oer the sickle bending—— i listend, motionless and still; and, as i mounted up the hill, the music in my heart i bore, long after it was heard no more. |
