英语小诗

一、《When you are old》 当你老了

作者：William Butler Yeats（威廉·巴特勒·叶芝）

When you are old and grey and full of sleep

当你老了，头发花白，睡意沉沉，

And nodding by the fire，take down this book

倦坐在炉边，取下这本书来，

And slowly read,and dream of the soft look

慢慢读着，追梦当年的眼神

Your eyes had once,and of their shadows deep

你那柔美的神采与深幽的晕影。

How many loved your moments of glad grace

多少人爱过你昙花一现的身影，

And loved your beauty with love false or true

爱过你的美貌，以虚伪或真情，

But one man loved the pilgrim Soul in you

惟独一人曾爱你那朝圣者的心，

And loved the sorrows of your changing face

爱你哀戚的脸上岁月的留痕。

And bending down beside the glowing bars

在炉罩边低眉弯腰，

Murmur,a little sadly,how Love fled

忧戚沉思，喃喃而语，

And paced upon the mountains overhead

爱情是怎样逝去，又怎样步上群山，

And hid his face amid a crowd of stars

怎样在繁星之间藏住了脸。

二、《Funeral Blues》葬礼蓝调

作者：W. H. Auden奥登

Stop all the clocks, cut off the telephone

停止所有的时钟，切断电话，

Prevent the dog from barking with a juicy bone

给狗一块浓汁的骨头，让他别叫

Silence the pianos and with muffled drum

黯哑了钢琴，随着低沉的鼓，

Bring out the coffin, let the mourners come

抬出灵怄，让哀悼者前来，

Let aeroplanes circle moaning overhead

让直升机在头顶悲旋

Scribbling on the sky the message 'He is Dead'

在天空狂草着信息他已逝去,

Put crepe bows round the white necks of the public doves

把黑纱系在信鸽的白颈。

作者：Emily Dickinson艾米莉·狄金森

I could have borne the shade

My Wilderness has made

成为更新的荒凉

四、《Meditation XVII》丧钟为谁而鸣

作者：John Donne约翰·多恩

No man is an island，Entire of itself

没有人是自成一体，与世隔绝的孤岛

Each is a piece of the continent

每一个人都是广袤大陆的一部分

A part of the main，If a clod be washed away by the sea

如果海浪冲掉了一块岩石

Motherland is the less，As well as if a promontory were

欧洲就变少，如同一个海岬失掉一角

As well as if a manner of thine own，Or of thine friend's were

如同你的朋友或者你自己的领地失掉一块，每个人的死亡都是我的哀伤

Each man's death diminishes me，For I am involved in mankind

因为我是人类的一员，

Therefore, send not to know，For whom the bell tolls，It tolls for thee.

所以，不要问丧钟为谁而鸣，它就为你而鸣！

五、《down by the salley garden》我的爱曾在这里

Down by the salley gardens my love and I did meet

She passed the salley gardens with little snow-whitefeet

She bid me take love easy, as the leaves grow on the tree

她嘱我爱得简单，如枝上萌发的新绿。

But I, being young and foolish,with her did not agree

In a field by the river my love and I did stand

在远方河畔旷野，吾爱与我并肩伫立。

And on my leaning shoulder she laid her snow-white hand

在我微倾的肩上，她搭起纯白的手臂。

She bid me take life easy, as the grass grows on the weirs

她嘱我活得淡然，像青草滋长于岸堤。

But I was young and foolish, and now I am full of tears

但当年年少无知，如今早已泪满衣裳 。

I Saw Thee Weep

I saw thee weep---the big bright tear

Came o'er that eye of blue;

And then methought it did appear

A violet dropping dew:

I saw thee smile---the sapphire's blaze

Beside thee ceased to shine;

It could not match the living rays

That filled that glance of thine.

As clouds from yonder sun receive

A deep and mellow dye,

Which scarce the shade of coming eve

Can banish from the sky,

Those smiles unto the moodiest mind

Their own pure joy impart;

Their sunshine leaves a glow behind

That lightens o'er the heart.

我见过你哭 (拜伦)

我见过你哭——晶莹的泪珠，

挂在蓝色的双目，

就像一朵紫罗兰沾满晨露。

我见过你笑——

璀璨的宝石，

光焰也不再闪耀，

它怎能与你回眸一瞥的灵光比较!

夕阳给云海染上了绚丽的色彩;

冉冉的暝色也不能，

不能把这奇彩逐开。

你的微笑让抑郁拥有了欢乐，

像明媚的阳光，

在我的心头闪烁。
