英文原文
The Lake Isle of Innisfree
——— byWilliam Butler Yeats
I will arise and go now, and go to Innisfree,
And a small cabin build there, of clay and wattles made;
Nine bean-rows will I have there, a hive for the honey-bee,
And live alone in the bee-loud glade.
And I shall have some peace there, for peace comes dropping slow Dropping from the veils of the morning to where the cricket sings; There midnight's all a glimmer, and noon a purple glow,
And evening full of the linnet's wings.
I will arise and go now, for always night and day,
I hear the lake water lapping with low sounds by the shore;
While I stand on the roadway, or on the pavements gray,
I hear it in the deep heart's core.
漢語譯文
茵納斯弗利島
(愛爾蘭)威廉·巴勒斯·葉芝
我就要動身去了,去茵納斯弗利島;
搭起一個小屋子,築起泥巴房;
支起幾行雲豆架,一排蜂蜜巢,
獨個兒住著,蔭陰下聽蜂群歌唱。
我就會得到安寧,它徐徐下降,
從朝霧落到蟋蟀歌唱的地方;
午夜是一片閃亮,正午是一片紫光,
傍晚到處飛舞著紅雀的翅膀。
我就要動身去了,因為我聽到,
那水聲日日夜夜輕拍著湖濱;
不管我站在車行道或灰暗的人行道,
都在心靈深處聽見這聲音。
