當你老了 (朗讀)

作者：威廉·巴特勒·葉芝
當你老了，頭白了，睡意昏沉，
When you are old and grey and full of sleep,
爐火旁打盹，請取下這部詩歌，
And nodding by the fire，take down this book,
慢慢讀，回想你過去眼神的柔和，
And slowly read,and dream of the soft look
回想它們昔日濃重的陰影；
Your eyes had once,and of their shadows deep;
多少人愛你青春歡暢的時辰，
How many loved your moments of glad grace,
愛慕你的美麗，假意或真心，
And loved your beauty with love false or true,
只有一個人愛你那朝聖者的靈魂，
But one man loved the pilgrim Soul in you
愛你衰老了的臉上痛苦的皺紋；
And loved the sorrows of your changing face;
垂下頭來，在紅光閃耀的爐子旁，
And bending down beside the glowing bars,
淒然地輕輕訴說那愛情的消逝，
Murmur,a little sadly,how Love fled
在頭頂的山上它緩緩踱著步子，
And paced upon the mountains overhead
在一群星星中間隱藏著臉龐。
And hid his face amid a crowd of stars.
