當你年老時 作者：葉芝
When you are old and grey and full of sleep，
當你年老，鬢斑，睡意昏沉，
And nodding by the fire， take down this book，
在爐旁打盹時，取下這本書，
And slowly read， and dream of the soft look Your eyes had once， and of their shadows deep；
慢慢誦讀，夢憶從前你雙眸，神色柔和，眼波中倒影深深；
How many loved your moments of glad grace，
多少人愛你風韻嫵媚的時光，
And loved your beauty with love false or true，
愛你的美麗出自假意或真情，
But one man loved the pilgrim soul in you，
但唯有一人愛你靈魂的至誠，
And loved the sorrows of your changing face；
愛你漸衰的臉上愁苦的風霜；
And bending down beside the glowing bars，
彎下身子，在熾紅的壁爐邊，
Murmur， a little sadly， how Love fled
憂傷地低訴，愛神如何逃走，
And paced upon the mountains overhead
在頭頂上的群山巔漫步閒遊，
And hid his face amid a crowd of stars。
把他的面孔隱沒在繁星中間。
