Selected Poems of W. B. Yeats-
叶芝诗选之一
《 When You Are Old》
当你老掉牙
When you are old and grey and full of sleep,当你年老色衰,
And nodding by the fire, take down this book,当你在火堆边打盹,请取下这本书
And slowly read, and dream of the soft look慢慢的念起,
Your eyes had once, and of their shadows deep;想起眼神曾经流露的温柔,想起眸子的深邃的黑影
How many loved your moments of glad grace,那么多欢喜与慈悲
And loved your beauty with love false or true,那么多真爱假情的美
But one man loved the pilgrim Soul in you,但是,朝圣者的灵魂指引着你
And loved the sorrows of your changing face;带着遗憾,还有那变化无常的面孔
And bending down beside the glowing bars,在赤红灼热的十字架。
Murmur, a little sadly, how Love fled呣,有点伤心,爱总逃得那么快
And paced upon the mountains overhead爬上了前方的高山
And hid his face amid a crowd of stars.将其的面庞藏在那繁星之中。
