Richard II by William Shakespeare: Act 2. Scene I
- [ 翻譯此頁 ]Watching breeds leanness, leanness is all gaunt: ... My liege, old Gaunt commends him to your majesty. KING RICHARD II What says he? NORTHUMBERLAND ...WHERE THEY LIVED
Dishevelled leaves creep down
Upon that bank to-day,
Some green, some yellow, and some pale brown;
The wet bents bob and sway;
The once warm slippery turf is sodden
Where we laughingly sat or lay.
The summerhouse is gone,
Leaving a weedy space;
The bushes that veiled it once have grown
Gaunt trees that interlace,
Through whose lank limbs I see too clearly
The nakedness of the place.
And where were hills of blue,
Blind drifts of vapour blow,
And the names of former dwellers few,
If any, people know,
And instead of a voice that called, "Come in, Dears,"
Time calls, "Pass below!"
