威廉·巴特勒·葉芝

William Butler Yeats

我的愛與我約在柳園畔相遇

她用雪白的纖足踏過柳園里

她說從容愛我，如樹葉生長般

我卻年少輕狂，不會聽她所言

我的愛與我佇立在綠地河邊

她雪白的手搭我正微傾的肩

她說從容生活，如岸草生長般

我卻年少輕狂，而今淚流滿面

Down by the Salley Gardens

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 I'm full of tears.
