The Lake Isle of Innisfree 茵湖岛
I will arise and go now, and go to Innisfree,
And a small cabin build there, of clay and wattles made;
Nine bean-rows will I have there, a hive for the honey-bee,
And Live alone in the bee-loud glade.
此刻我将动身前去,去那茵湖岛,
在那儿搭建一座小木屋,以泥块枝桠编织而成;
种几地大豆,弄个蜂巢,养些蜜蜂,
遗世独立于那片蜂儿高鸣的林间野地。
And I shall have some peace there, for peace comes dropping slow,
Dropping from the veils of the morning to where the cricket sings;
There midnight’s all a glimmer, and noon a purple glow,
And evening full of the linnet’s wings.
我将在那儿安详过日子,这安详缓缓滴落
由清晨的迷蒙到蟋蟀的鸣唱;
那儿的子夜,星光闪烁;中午,紫光一片;
而黄昏,飞满野雀的红翼。
I will arise and go now, for always night and day,
I hear lake water lapping with low sounds by the shore;
Whil I stand on the roadway, or on the pavements gray,
I hear it in the deep heart’s core.
此刻我将动身前去,因为日日夜夜
我听到那湖水轻拍岸边的低语,
当我伫足在大道上,或在灰蒙的小径时,
我听到那湖水在我心深处回响不绝。
by William Butler Yeats, 1865-1939
