国外经典英文短诗：Mirage
* K1 S# @0 `- p( O& N* M  ^　　How is it that, being gone, you fill my days,
　　And all the long nights are made glad by thee?
　　No loneliness is this, nor misery,
$ q$ D, U# U9 x: _* e- g　　But great content that these should be the ways
% K" f$ c/ z# [1 ]　　Whereby the Fancy, dreaming as she strays,
( K' c  d1 q7 `! G/ @. o2 g　　Makes bright and present what she would would be.
) I' U1 g+ }5 X. ?3 ?' S' ~　　And who shall say if the reality
　　Is not with dreams so pregnant. For delays
　　And hindrances may bar the wished-for end;
　　A thousand misconceptions may prevent
- L0 h- _* p! [2 M/ Y　　Our souls from coming near enough to blend;
7 a$ T1 t+ i7 \+ e$ v　　Let me but think we have the same intent,
  z; s+ T; }! \+ ]; e" O% m6 e- z　　That each one needs to call the other, "friend!"
6 |$ R( b  R% E2 _1 [( f　　It may be vain illusion. I'm content.
