当你年老鬓白,睡意沉凝, A 10
炉火旁打盹,取下这本书 B 10
慢慢地阅读,梦回你双目 B 10
曾有的柔润,和深深幽影。 A 10
多少人爱你快乐优雅时光, C 11
爱你的美, 以假意或真情, D 10
但有个人爱你朝圣的心灵, D 11
爱你老去面容上的悲伤。 C 10
在炽亮木炭边弯下身, E 9
忧戚地喃喃爱怎样逃开 , F 10
他踱步于高高的山脉, F 9
又把面颊隐藏入星群。 E 9

值君暮岁
叶如钢译, 2015. 8.
暮岁鬓白意倦沉,
对炉且抚卷书馨。
堪忆眸眼方柔润,
似水澈清幽影深。
声欢姿俏于华时,
真意虚情众宠之。
衰颜伤色一人慕,
朝圣丹心一人知。
俯身戚戚炭火旭,
呢喃低语爱之去。
其步高山于遥遥,
面隐繁星思无迹。
Pippa's Song
By Robert Browning (1812-1889)
THE year's at the spring,
And day's at the morn;
Morning's at seven;
The hill-side's dew-pearl'd;
The lark's on the wing;
The snail's on the thorn;
God's in His heaven--
When You Are Old
William Butler Yeats
When you are old and grey and full of sleep, A 10
And nodding by the fire, take down this book, B 10
And slowly read, and dream of the soft look B 10
Your eyes had once, and of their shadows deep; A 10
How many loved your moments of glad grace, C 10
And loved your beauty with love false or true, D 10
But one man loved the pilgrim soul in you, D 10
And loved the sorrows of your changing face; C 10
And bending down beside the glowing bars, E 10
Murmur, a little sadly, how Love fled F 10
And paced upon the mountains overhead F 10
And hid his face amid a crowd of stars. E 10
