译叶芝《Down by the Salley Gardens》
昔遇柳园街 佳人足如雪
谓我钟情易 若柳生枝叶
昔我愚复鲁 斯衷未足解
昔倚对春江 佳人腕似霜
谓我偷生易 若草起坡梁
昔我愚复鲁 今思泪满裳
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 did not agree.
In a field by the river my love and I did stand,
And on my leaning shoulder she placed 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.
