托马斯·哈代(ThomasHardy)诗歌选1
    The Shadow on the Stone
    I went by the Druid stone
    That broods in the garden white and lone,
    And I stopped and looked at the shifting shadows
    That at some moments fall thereon
    From the tree hard by with a rhythmic swing,
    And they shaped in my imagining
    To the shade that a well-known head and shoulders
    Threw there when she was gardening.
    I thought her behind my back,
    Yea, her I long had learned to lack,
    And I said: "I am sure you are standing behind me,
    Though how do you get into this old track?"
    And there was no sound but the fall of a leaf
    As a sad response; and to keep down my grief
    I would not turn my head to discover
    That there was nothing in my belief.
    Yet I wanted to look and see
    That nobody stood at the back of me;
    But I thought once more: "Nay, I'll not unvision
    A shape which, somehow, there may be."
    So I went on softly from the glade,
    And left her behind me throwing her shade,
    As she were indeed an apparition-
    My head unturned lest my dream should fade.
