It was a day in that blue month September
Silent beneath a plum tree’s slender shade
I held her
There, my love so pale and silent
As if she were a dream
Above us, in the shining summer heaven
There was a cloud my eyes dwelt long upon
It was quite white and very high above us
Then I looked up, and found that it was gone 
                                                     Bert Brecht

这个人的诗我是第一次看到，并且只看到这一首。柔和，抒情，十分美丽。我看的是中文版的。我以为英文原来的语句会更动人。但是事实是对我这样一个不擅长英语的人来说，或许中文看起来更容易让我觉得舒坦。这便也是一种局限吧。
