William Butler Yeats

Down by the Salley Gardens，My love and I did meet.

走进莎莉花园，我曾路遇爱情。

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

她穿越莎莉花园， 落地之足雪白纤细。

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

她叫我从容去爱 ，如绿叶依偎树干；

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

然我彼时不谙世事，未曾明了话中含义。

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

曾一同驻足河畔田野，

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

她抬起洁白素手，轻倚我微倾肩膀。

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

她叫我从容生活，如青草俯贴河畔；

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

然我彼时年少无知，而今只好泪流满面。
