Down By The Salley Gardens -------William Butler Yeats

Down by the salley gardens my love and I did meet;

She pass’d the salley gardens with little snow-white feet.

She bid me take love easy, as the leaves grow on the tree;

But I, being young and foolish, with her would not agree.

In a field by the river my love and I did stand,

And on my leaning shoulder she laid her snow-white hand.

She bid me take life easy, as the grass grows on the weirs;

But I was young and foolish, and now am full of tears.

1.Why does the writer like singing?

2.why does the writher like reading poems?

Make him feel good/ better

Make him feel something

Help him get through the dayGive him a strange feeling

A special experience

Have different feelings with different poems

3.What techniques of reading poetry are mentioned in the passage?Recite them

Don’t look up the meaning of the words

Read alone and aloud

Practise more

Read different poems when having different feelings

4.What’s the main idea of this passage?

5.What can we infer from the passage?

Reading poetry can bring people pleasure just like singing a song.

Now reading poem is part of the writer’s life.

Dust of Snow - by Robert Frost

The way a crow Shook down on me The dust of snow From a hemlock tree

Has given my heart A change of mood And saved some part Of a day I had rued

铁杉树上

一只乌鸦

抖落雪尘

撒我一身

我的心情

因此变化

一天的懊丧

已不再留下

RIGHT HERE WAITING - by Richard Marx

Oceans apart, day after day,

And I slowly go insane.

I hear your voice on the line,

But it doesn't stop the pain.

If I see you next to never,

How can I say forever?

Wherever you go, whatever you do,

I will be right here waiting for you;

whatever it takes, or how my heart breaks,

I will be right here waiting for you.

远隔重洋，日复一日

思念几乎使我发狂

尽管电话中听到了你的声音

但却摆脱不了痛苦

如果从此再也不能相见

我们又怎么能说相爱到永远

无论你到何方，无论你在做什么

我都会在此等你

无论付出怎样的代价

哪怕使我心碎

我也会在此等你

A Red, Red Rose--Robert Burns

O my luve is like a red, red rose,That's newly sprung in June;O my luve is like the melodieThat's sweetly played in tune.

As fair art thou, my bonnie lass,So deep in luve am I;And I will luve thee still, my dear,Till a' the seas gang dry.

Till a' the seas gang dry, my dear ,And the rocks melt wi' the sun;And I will luve thee still , my dear,While the sands o'life shall run.

And fare thee weel, my only luve,And fare thee weel awhile;And I will come again, my luve,Tho’ it were ten thousand mile!
