來到柳園

William Butler Yeats

佚 名（譯）

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 I am full of tears.

斯遇佳人，仙苑重深。

玉人雪趾，往渡穿林。

矚我適愛，如葉逢春。

我愚且頑，負此明言。

斯水之畔，與彼曾佇，

比肩之處，玉手曾拂。

囑我適世，如荇隨堰。

惜我愚頑，唯余泣嘆!

本詩節(jié)選自詩人威廉·巴特勒·葉芝的詩歌Down by the Salley Garden，最初翻譯為《柳園里》，是葉芝早年的詩作。葉芝早年的詩歌韻律優(yōu)美，感情細膩，辭藻華麗，象征意味濃郁，明顯受到英國浪漫主義和法國象征主義詩歌的影響。葉芝曾為此詩做過下列注釋：“這首詩是根據斯萊戈縣巴利索戴爾村里一個經常獨自吟唱的老農婦記不完全的三行舊歌詞改寫而成的。”
