Freneau’s position in American literature She Dwelt Among Untrodden Ways ----by William Wordsworth She dwelt among the untrodden waysBeside the springs of Dove,Maid whom there were none to praiseAnd very few to love:A violet by a mosy stoneHalf hidden from the eye!---Fair as a star, when only oneIs shining in the sky.She lived unknown, and few could knowWhen Lucy ceased to be;But she is in her grave, and, oh,The difference to me! 《赞美》（一九四一）---查良铮 一个农夫，他粗糙的身躯移动在田野中， 他是一个女人的孩子，许多孩子的父亲， 多少朝代在他身边升起又降落了， 而把希望和失望压在他身上， 而他永远无言的跟在犁后旋转...... 在大陆上人们演说，叫嚣，欢快， 然而他没有，他只放下了古代的锄头， 再一次相信名词，溶进了大众的爱， 坚定的，他看着自己溶进死亡里， 而这样的路是无限悠长的， 而他是不能够流泪的， 他没有流泪，因为一个民族已经起来。 By Nature’s self in white array’d, She bade thee shun the vulgar eye, And planted here the guardian shade, And sent soft waters murmuring by; Thus quietly thy summer goes, Thy days declining to repose. Smit with those charms, that must decay, I grieve to see your future doom, They died—nor were those flowers less / more gay, The flowers that did in Eden bloom; Unpitying frosts, and Autumn’s power Shall leave no vestige of this flower. From morning suns and evening dews At first thy little being came: If nothing once, you nothing lose, For when you die you are the same; The space between, is but an hour, The frail duration of a flower. Analysis and Appreciation: a) The poem is no doubt a graphic illustration of Freneaus poetic genius. b) Here we see Freneau moving his eyes from the relics of the Old World over to his own continent to enjoy the beauty that the American landscape is capable of offering to the observing and appreciative eyes. Analysis and Appreciation: c) Different from Copper, Hawthorn, and Henry James, Freneaus poem is an indication of the poets dedication to American subject matter as he examined the particular characteristics of the American countryside. retreat: place of seclusion; secluded place untouch’d: untouched; honey’d: honeyed; greet: personification No roving foot
