汉译英诗：年老之时 - When You Are Old

年老之时

 

年老丝白睡眼惺，

炉边打盹请书情。

漫读追梦殷勤色，

对目曾经郁影深。

 

欢媚瞬间多少恋，

真真假假爱姿颜。

你心仰圣一人爱，

爱你衰容刺痛怜。

 

侧亮炉栅俯下腰，

爱神夭遁切声叨。

为何踱步高山岭，

没入群星不首翘。

 

When You Are Old 

by William Buter Yeats

When you are old and grey and full of sleep,
And nodding by the fire, take down this book,
And slowly read, and dream of the soft look
Your eyes had once, and of their shadows deep;

How many loved your moments of glad grace,
And loved your beauty with love false or true,
But one man loved the pilgrim Soul in you,
And loved the sorrows of your changing face;

And bending down beside the glowing bars,
Murmur, a little sadly, how Love fled
And paced upon the mountains overhead
And hid his face amid a crowd of stars.
