品茗经典-Unit 14 The Eagle 鹰

　　The Eagle 鹰 -Alfred Tennyson 丁尼生
He Clasps the crag with crooked¹ hands;
Close to the sun in lonely lands.
Ringed with the azure² world, he stands.
弯弯利爪抱石岩，
兀立孤地负蓝天，
太阳已不远。
The wrinkled sea beneath him crawls.
He watches from his mountain walls,
And like thunderbolt he falls.
粼粼波光闪海面，
雄鹰俯视在山巅，
急坠如雷电。
