國中英語基測出現過 about 的考題。
The wind keeps blowing. The door keeps opening. Will you be with me, my dear Lucy, When I look for candy Down there in the dark, dark kitchen?
The wind keeps crying. The door keeps shaking. Will you be with me, my dear Lucy, When I pick up my toy puppy Out there on the high, high balcony?
Wish you could always be with me And make them go away with your Do-Re-Me. I remember last Halloween They ran away when you started to sing, “Dear Tommy, my little king, Close your eyes and have a sweet dream.”
So please stay with me and sing To stop them kicking the door, riding the wind, And pulling me down to their house under the ground. They’ll go away if you sing here for me, In a voice that gets a black cat’s hair standing, The strongest legs shaking, and the window glass breaking.
(ideas from Matthew Sweeney’s poem)
