So it's home again, and home again, America for me! My heart is turning home again, and there I long to be, In the land of youth and freedom beyond the ocean bars, Where the air is full of sunlight and the flag is full of stars! Oh, London is a man's town, there's power in the air; And Paris is a woman's town, with flowers in her hair; And it's sweet to dream in Venice, and it's great to study Rome; But when it comes to living there is no place like home. I like the German fir-woods, in green battalions drilled; I like the gardens of Versailles with flashing fountains filled; But, oh, to take your hand, my dear, and ramble for a day In the friendly western woodland where Nature has her way! I know that Europe's wonderful, yet something seems to lack: The Past is too much with her, and the people looking back. But the glory of the Present is to make the Future free,— We love our land for what she is and what she is to be. Oh, it's home again, and home again, America for me! I want a ship that's westward bound to plough the rolling sea, To the bléssed Land of Room Enough beyond the ocean bars, Where the air is full of sunlight and the flag is full of stars【詩人簡介】亨利• 凡•泰克(Henry van Dyke，1852-1933)是美國著名詩人、作家和牧師。曾被當年學友的威爾遜總統於1913任命為美國駐荷蘭和盧森堡公使。隨後第一次世界大戰爆發，他成功地做好了在荷蘭的難民安置工作。1916年辭去公使，回到美國。更多精彩文章，请查看左下角“原文链接” 长按下面二维码，关注我们哦聯繫方式歡迎關注美國《華人》 微信公眾號：美國華人雜誌WeChinese (點擊下方圖片，識別二維碼關注） 微博：美國華人雜誌 官方網址：www. wechinese.us 地址：7510 Clairemont Mesa Blvd, #108, San Diego, CA 92117 更多關於雜誌社信息，或廣告洽談項目，請聯繫：[email protected][email protected] 電話：858-610-2259
