Selected Poems of Longfellow collects more than ten classic representative works of the celebrated poet Longfellow. Bringing forth the principle that "to translate English metrical poems into Chinese metrical poems", Yang Deyu's translation is highly true to the original, carefully phrased and literally graceful, which aptitude can be hardly surpassed by followers.《朗费罗诗选》选取了著名诗人朗费罗的数十首经典代表作品，集中展示了杨德豫"把英语格律诗译成汉语格律体诗"的译诗原则，文字贴切，格律谨严，且文辞斐然，真正做到了译诗与原诗的高度近似，达到了后来者很难超越的高度。
