When You Are Old
----WILLIAM BUTLER YEATS
When you are old and gray and full of sleep
And nodding by the fire, take down this book,
And slowly read, and dream of the soft look
Your eyes had once, and of their shadows deep；
How many loved your moments of glad grace,
And loved your beauty with love false or true；
But one man loved the pilgrim soul in you,
And loved the sorrows of your changing face;
And bending down beside the glowing bars,
Murmur, a little sadly, how love fled
And paced upon the mountains overhead,
And hid his face amid a crowd of stars.
当你老了
---叶芝
当你老了，白发苍苍，睡思昏沉，
在炉火旁打盹，请取下这部诗歌，
慢慢读，回想你过去眼神的柔和
回想它们过去的浓重的阴影；
多少人爱你年轻欢畅的时候
出于假意或真心地爱慕你的美貌，
只有一个人爱你那朝圣者的灵魂，
爱你老去的容颜的痛苦的皱纹。
躬身在红光闪耀的炉火旁，
凄然地低语，爱为何消逝，
在头顶的山上，它缓缓踱着步子，
将脸隐没在群星之中。
Sonnets
Shall I compare thee to a summer’s
day?
Thou art more
temperate.
lovely
and
more
Rough winds do shake the darling
buds of May,
And summer’s lease hath all too
short a date…
能不能让我来把你比作夏日？
Sonnet 十四行诗。这是
一种抒情短诗，一般说来
有十四行，每一行有特定
的韵律， 而行与行之间有
固定的押韵格式。
你可是更加温和，更加可爱：
狂风会吹落五月里开的好花儿，
夏季的生命又未免结束得太快……

Could there have been a frost already ?
Lifting myself to look, I found that it was moonlight
Sinking back again, I thought suddenly of home.
