英文经典诗歌赏析：The Painted Ceiling

　　My Grandpapa lives in a wonderful house
　　With a great many windows and doors,
　　There are stairs that go up, and stairs that go down,
, g0 ]2 Z7 C: Z3 \; b3 G7 \　　And such beautiful, slippery floors.
- C" z( |7 \& d) L3 K4 @- Y　　But of all of the rooms, even mother's and mine,
. x$ `! ^+ M4 g　　And the bookroom, and parlour and all,
　　I like the green dining-room so much the best
　　Because of its ceiling and wall.
# L( u! D, A5 F* f　　Right over your head is a funny round hole
3 `; E0 u4 T5 k) S( n7 |( x7 ?' w　　With apples and pears falling through;
　　There's a big bunch of grapes all purply and sweet,
* F7 W3 Y2 ]; A# |# l% [　　And melons and pineapples too.
% B; d) F. k9 a/ H8 }　　They tumble and tumble, but never come down
　　Though I've stood underneath a long while
" f/ k# Z7 V$ F8 k& s4 L! N  R　　With my mouth open wide, for I always have hoped
　　Just a cherry would drop from the pile.
　　No matter how early I run there to look
　　It has always begun to fall through;
, }4 f" D, ?7 y$ }" \( B* U4 Q+ p　　And one night when at bedtime I crept in to see,
$ _5 i. ]1 i5 G　　It was falling by candle-light too.
　　I am sure they are magical fruits, and each one
　　Makes you hear things, or see things, or go
　　Forever invisible; but it's no use,
　　And of course I shall just never know.
8 b8 Y3 A# R) ~0 r　　For the ladder's too heavy to lift, and the chairs
% y" r6 W: }. V1 c* W: t1 K　　Are not nearly so tall as I need.
　　I've given up hope, and I feel I shall die
　　Without having accomplished the deed.
　　It's a little bit sad, when you seem very near
　　To adventures and things of that sort,
2 g( ~6 v0 L3 d$ J3 W1 Z; K6 s　　Which nearly begin, and then don't; and you know
' g" o; p) s, P　　It is only because you are short.
* u% ^! }0 l4 B
