小小小雨桐
作者：Yeats(叶慈,1865-1939,爱尔兰剧作家、诗人,获1923年诺贝尔文学奖) Down by the salley gardens my love and I did meet; 在莎莉花园深处，吾爱与我曾经相遇。 She passed the salley gardens with little snow-white feet. 她穿越莎莉花园，以雪白的小脚。 She bid me take love easy, as the leaves grow on the tree; 她嘱咐我要爱得轻松，当新叶在枝桠萌芽。 But I, being young and foolish, with her would not agree. 但我当年年幼无知，不予轻率苟同。 In a field by the river my love and I did stand, 在河边的田野，吾爱与我曾经驻足。 And on my leaning shoulder she laid her snow-white hand. 她依靠在我的肩膀，以雪白的小手。 She bid me take life easy, as the grass grows on the weirs; 她嘱咐我要活得轻松，当青草在堤岸滋长。 But I was young and foolish, and now am full of tears. 但我当年年幼无知，而今热泪盈眶。
