哎,不知道你要多长的,既然是初中的话就不要太多生僻词的好；推荐两篇吧.
1,叶芝的When you are old,很经典的,就是有点短
When You Are Old
When you are old and gray and full of sleep
And nodding by the fire,take down this book,
And slowly read,and dream of the soft look
Your eyes had once,and of their shadows deep;
How many loved your moments of glad grace,
And loved your beauty with love false or true;
But one man loved the pilgrim soul in you,
And loved the sorrows of your changing face;
And bending down beside the glowing bars,
Murmur,a little sadly,how love fled
And paced upon the mountains overhead,
And hid his face amid a crowd of stars.
当你老了
当你老了,头白了,睡意昏沉,
炉火旁打盹,请取下这部诗歌,
慢慢读,回想你过去眼神的柔和,
回想它们昔日浓重的阴影；
多少人爱你青春欢畅的时辰,
爱慕你的美丽,假意或真心,
只有一个人爱你那朝圣者的灵魂,
爱你衰老了的脸上痛苦的皱纹；
垂下头来,在红光闪耀的炉子旁,
凄然地轻轻诉说那爱情的消逝,
在头顶的山上它缓缓踱着步子,
在一群星星中间隐藏着脸庞.
2,狄更斯的These Things Shall Never Die,也不是很难
The pure.the bright,the beautiful,一切纯洁的,辉煌的,美丽的,
That stirred our hearts in youth,强烈地震撼着我们年轻的心灵的,
The impulses to wordless prayer,推动着我们做无言的祷告的,
The dreams of love and truth; 让我们梦想着爱与真理的;
The longing after something's lost,在失去后为之感到珍惜的,
The spirit's yearning cry,使灵魂深切地呼喊着的,
The striving after better hopes- 为了更美好的梦想而奋斗着的-
These things can never die.这些美好不会消逝.
The timid hand stretched forth to aid 羞怯地伸出援助的手,
A brother in his need,在你的弟兄需要的时候,
A kindly word in grief's dark hour 伤恸、困难的时候,一句亲切的话
That proves a friend indeed ; 就足以证明朋友的真心；
The plea for mercy softly breathed,轻声地乞求怜悯,
When justice threatens nigh,在审判临近的时候,
The sorrow of a contrite heart- 懊悔的心有一种伤感--
These things shall never die.这些美好不会消逝.
Let nothing pass for every hand 在人间传递温情
Must find some work to do ; 尽你所能地去做；
Lose not a chance to waken love- 别错失去了唤醒爱的良机-----
Be firm,and just ,and true; 为人要坚定,正直,忠诚；
So shall a light that cannot fade 因此上方照耀着你的那道光芒
Beam on thee from on high.就不会消失.
And angel voices say to thee---你将听到天使的声音在说-----
These things shall never die.这些美好不会消逝.
