葉芝經典英語詩歌

庫爾的野天鵝

William Butler Yeats

Unwearied still, lover by lover,

They paddle in the cold

Companionable streams or climb the air;

Their hearts have not grown old;

Passion or conquest, wander where they will,

Attend upon them still.

它們比翼雙飛，永不厭倦，

時而蕩漿于多情的湖面，

時而雙翼凌空，一舉千里，

活力永不衰減。

無論游往何地，激情和志向，

將伴隨它們日久天長。

But now they drift on the still water,

Mysterious, beautiful;

Among what rushes will they build,

By what lake’s edge or pool

Delight men’s eyes when I awake some day

To find they have flown away?

如今，它們悠游于幽靜的水面，

神秘而又美研。

它們將沿著怎樣的湖邊，

在怎樣的蒲葦中筑起家園，

讓人們把喜悅寫入眼簾，

當某天早晨我突然起身，

發現它們早已杳無蹤痕?
