深沉的誓言    叶芝 

因你未守那深沉的誓言 

别人便与我相恋 

但每每，在我面对死神的时候 

在我睡到最酣的时候 

在我纵酒狂欢的时候 

总会突然遇到你的脸

A Deep-Sworn Vow 

Others because you did not keep 

That deep-sworn vow have been friends of mine 

Yet always when I look death in the face

 When I clamber to the heights of sleep

Or when I grow excited with wine

Suddenly I meet your face
