When you are old
叶芝〔爱尔兰〕
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 beauty with love false or ture
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
当你老了
原著／叶芝 翻译／冰心
当你老了，头发花白，睡意沉沉
倦坐在炉边，取下这本书来
慢慢读着，追梦当年的眼神
那柔美的神采与深幽的晕影
多少人爱过你青春的片影
爱过你的美貌，以虚伪或是真情
唯独一人爱你那朝圣者的心
爱你哀戚的脸上岁月的留痕
在炉栅边，你弯下了腰
低语着，带着浅浅的伤感
爱情是怎样逝去，又怎样步上群山
怎样在繁星之间藏住了脸

每次想起你的可爱的样儿我就会扑哧一笑，因为再也不会遇见你这种美丽善良的女孩了。
