叶芝的《但我们老了》
When You Are Old
When you are old and gray and full of sleep
And nodding by the fire, take don this book,
And sloly read, and dream of the soft look
Your eyes had once, and of their shados deep;
Ho many loved your moments of glad grace,
And loved your beauty ith love false or true;
But one man loved the pilgrim[1]soul in you,
And loved the sorros of your changing face;
And bending don beside the gloing bars,
Murmur, a little sadly, ho love fled
And paced[2] upon the mountains overhead,
And hid his face amid a crod of stars.
有两个译本
当你老了,白发苍苍,睡意朦胧,
在炉前打盹,请取下这本诗篇,
慢慢吟咏,梦见你当年的双眼
那柔美的光芒与青幽的晕影;
多少人真情假意,爱过你的美丽,
爱过你欢乐而迷人的青春,
唯独一人爱过你朝圣者的心,
爱你日益凋谢的脸上的哀戚;
当你佝偻着,在灼热的炉栅边,
你将轻轻诉说,带着一丝伤感,
逝去的爱,如今以步上高山,
在密密星群里埋藏着它的赧颜。
当你老了
袁可嘉译
当你老了,头白了,睡意昏沉,
炉火旁打盹,请取下这部诗歌,
慢慢读,回想你过去眼神的柔和,
回想它们昔日浓重的阴影;
多少人爱你青春欢畅的时辰,
爱慕你的美丽,假意或真心,
只有一个人爱你那朝圣者的灵魂,
爱你衰老了的脸上痛苦的皱纹;
垂下头来,在红光闪耀的炉子旁,
凄然地轻轻诉说那爱情的消逝,
在头顶的山上它缓缓踱着步子,
在一群星星中间隐藏着脸庞。
