叶芝--《当你老了》
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
Yours eyes had once,and of their shadows deep.
How many loved your moments of glad grace,
And loved your beauty with love false or true,
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，白发苍苍，睡意朦胧，
在炉前打盹，请取下这本诗篇，
慢慢读，回想你当年的双眼
那柔美的光芒与青幽的晕影：
多少人真情假意，爱过你的美丽，
爱过你欢乐而迷人的青春，
唯独一人爱你朝圣者的心，
爱你日益凋射的脸上的衰戚：
当你佝偻着，在灼热的炉栅边，
你将轻轻诉说，带着一丝伤感：
逝去的爱，如今已步上高山，
在密密星群里埋藏它的赧颜。
拓展资料：
《当你老了》是威廉·巴特勒·叶芝于1893年创作的一首诗歌，是叶芝献给女友毛特·冈妮热烈而真挚的爱情诗篇。诗歌语言简明，但情感丰富真切。诗人采用了多种艺术表现手法。文章通过深入剖析诗作中诗人所使用的艺术表现手法，诸如假设想象、对比反衬、意象强调、象征升华，再现了诗人对女友忠贞不渝的爱恋之情。

英语文学中，诗歌极其丰富多彩，学英文而不懂英文诗歌，不仅从审美角度看是个遗憾，而且从语言学习角度看，学一些诗歌，语言能力会大大提高。我整理了短篇英文诗歌，欢迎阅读!
Suicide note 遗书
LangstonHughes
The calm,
Cool face of the river,
Asked me for a kiss
平静的，
淡漠的河面，
向我索一个吻
There is a Lady Sweet and Kind 有一位姑娘美丽又温柔
Thomas Ford
There is a lady sweet and kind,
Was never a face so pleased my mind;
I did but see her passing by,
And yet,
I'll love her till I die.
有一位姑娘甜美又温柔;
从未有一张脸让我如此心荡神摇;
我只看见她经过;
就会爱她到永远。

The Moods 心境
William Butler Yeats
Time drops indecay,
Like a candle burnt out,
And the mountains and woods
Have their day, have their day;
What one in the rout
Of the fire-born moods,
Has fallen away?
光阴渐逝于腐朽，
如蜡烛燃尽成灰，
群山与树林
正苍翠峥嵘，峥嵘苍翠;
拥有涅槃心境之人谁已消退?
