When you are old 當(dāng)你老了
--- William Butler Yeats ——威廉·巴特勒·葉芝
When you are old and grey and full of sleep, 當(dāng)你老了，頭發(fā)花白，睡意沉沉 ，
And nodding by the fire，take down this book, 倦坐在爐邊，取下這本書來，
And slowly read,and dream of the soft look 慢慢讀著，追夢當(dāng)年的眼神
Your eyes had once,and of their shadows deep; 你那柔美的神采與深幽的暈影 。
How many loved your moments of glad grace, 多少人愛過你曇花一現(xiàn)的身影，
【當(dāng)你老了原文】And loved your beauty with love false or true, 愛過你的美貌 ， 以虛偽或真情，
But one man loved the pilgrim Soul in you 惟獨一人曾愛你那朝圣者的心，
And loved the sorrows of your changing face; 愛你哀戚的臉上歲月的留痕 。
And bending down beside the glowing bars, 在爐罩邊低眉彎腰，
Murmur,a little sadly,how Love fled 憂戚沉思 ， 喃喃而語 ，
And paced upon the mountains overhead 愛情是怎樣逝去 ， 又怎樣步上群山，
And hid his face amid a crowd of stars. 怎樣在繁星之間藏住了臉 。
