【叶芝】在柳园

Down by the Salley Gardens

William Butler Yeats

Down by the salley gardens my love and I did meet;

She passed the salley gardens with little snow-white feet.

She bid me take love easy, as the leaves grow on the tree;

But I, being young and foolish, with her would not agree.

In a field by the river my love and I did stand,

And on my leaning shoulder she laid her snow-white hand.

She bid me take life easy, as the grass grows on the weirs;

But I was young and foolish, and now am full of tears.

在那青色的柳园里，

我和我心爱的人儿相遇；

她从此处轻轻走过，

娇小的双足雪白生辉。

她嘱咐我要轻松相爱，

就像这树枝会吐出新翠；

可惜我曾经年轻无知，

任她的话儿与风吹。

在那河畔的旷野上，

我和我心爱的人儿并肩依偎；

我微微倾斜的肩膀，

她那洁白的小手令人沉醉。

她嘱咐我要平静生活，

一如这河堰上青草把季节跟随；

可惜我曾经年轻无知，

如今只得满面泪水。
