這首徐志摩的詩，是他的傳世之作，也是我最鍾愛的現代詩作之一， 徐志摩的詩，配上李達濤的曲風，再加上張清芳清新的嗓音，在在讓我心動不已，百聽不厭！ 下面引述一段有關這首詩的描述，它頗能道出我的感受。
“這優美的節奏象漣漪般蕩漾開來，既是虔誠的學子尋夢的跫音，又契合著詩人感情的潮起潮落，有一種獨特的審美快感。七節詩錯落有致地排列，韻律在其中徐行緩步地鋪展，頗有些“長袍白面，郊寒島瘦”的詩人氣度。可以說，正體現了徐志摩的詩美主張。”
再別康橋 － 作詞：徐志摩 作曲：李達濤 主唱：張清芳
輕輕的我走了，
正如我輕輕的來；
我輕輕的招手，
作別西天的雲彩。
那河畔的金柳
是夕陽中的新娘
波光裡的豔影，
在我的心頭蕩漾。
軟泥上的青荇，
油油的在水底招搖；
在康河的柔波裡，
我甘心做一條水草。
那樹蔭下的一潭，
不是清泉，是天上虹
揉碎在浮藻間，
沉澱著彩虹似的夢。
尋夢？撐一支長篙，
向青草更青處漫溯，
滿載一船星輝，
在星輝斑斕裡放歌。
但我不能放歌，
悄悄是別離的笙簫；
夏虫也為我沉默，
沉默是今晚的康橋！
悄悄的我走了，
正如我悄悄的來；
我揮一揮衣袖，
不帶走一片雲彩。

You Raise Me Up - A Very Inspiring Song!
You Raise Me Up -
This is such a powerful and inspiring song that I couldn't help listening to it over and over again. I'm always deeply touched whenever I listen to this song. Below is some background information about this song from Wikipedia and a couple of videos performed by Josh Groban and Westlife. Enjoy!
From Wikipedia - (Source : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/You_Raise_Me_Up)
""You Raise Me Up" is a popular song in the inspirational mold. The music was written by Secret Garden's Rolf Løvland and the lyrics by Brendan Graham, a veteran songwriter from Ireland. The song has now been covered more than 125 times.[1]
The song was originally written as an instrumental piece and titled "Silent Story." The melody is based on a traditional Irish tune, especially the opening phrase of its chorus. Løvland approached Irish novelist and songwriter Brendan Graham to write the lyrics to his melody after reading Graham's novels.[2] It was originally released on the 2002 Secret Garden album "Once in a Red Moon," with the vocals sung by Irish singer Brian Kennedy, and sold well in both Ireland and Norway. Originally, Brian Kennedy was supposed to follow Secret Garden on their Asian tour in 2002, but fell ill, and could not attend. He was replaced by Norwegian singer Jan Werner Danielsen, who also later recorded the song together with Secret Garden, but it was never released."

You Raise Me Up - Lyrics
When I am down and, oh my soul, so weary;
When troubles come and my heart burdened be;
Then, I am still and wait here in the silence,
Until you come and sit awhile with me.
You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up: To more than I can be.
You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up: To more than I can be.
There is no life - no life without its hunger;
Each restless heart beats so imperfectly;
But when you come and I am filled with wonder,
Sometimes, I think I glimpse eternity.
You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up: To more than I can be.
You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up: To more than I can be.
