Do You Fear the Wind
這首詩(shī)注重格律，講究韻腳，是加點(diǎn)歷來(lái)被傳唱的經(jīng)典詩(shī)作之一。
Do you fear the force of the wind,
The slash of the rain?
Go face them and fight them,
Be savage again.
Go hungry and cold like the wolf,
Go wade like the crane:
The palms of your hands will thicken,
The skin of your cheek will tan,
You’ll grow ragged and weary and swarthy,
But you’ll walk like a man!
—— Hamlin Garland
