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。
