He Tells of a Valley Full of Lovers

[爱尔兰]威廉·巴勒特·叶芝

William Buther Yeats

我梦见我站在山谷之中,周围是一片叹息,

幸福的恋人成双成对地走过我的身旁;

我梦见我逝去的爱悄然从林中走出,

云样的眼睑遮掩了梦幻般的双眸;

我在梦中呼喊,姑娘们啊,

让少年们把头放于你们的膝上,用你们的秀发遮盖他们的眼睛,

否则,若记起她的容颜,他们便不会在别的脸上看到美丽。

直到这世界上所有的山谷都枯萎消尽。

I dreamed that l stood in a valley, and amid sighs,

For happy lovers passed two by two where l stood;

And I dreamed my lost love came stealthily out of the wood,

With her cloud-pale eyelids falling on dream-dimmed eyes;

I cried in my dream, O women, bid the young men lay,

Their heads on your knees, and drown their eyes with your hair,

Or remembering hers they will find no other face fair.

Till all valleys of the world have been withered away.
