双语诗歌|叶芝：新面孔 The New Faces
The New Faces |
新面孔 |
| If you, that have grown old, were the first dead, | 若你老了，先我而去， |
| Neither catalpa tree nor scented lime | 那么，芬芳的菩提树将不再能听到 |
| Should hear my living feet, nor would I tread | 我的有生的脚步，我将不会踏上 |
| Where we wrought that shall break the teeth of Time. | 我们工作过的地方，那将折断时间的牙齿。 |
| Let the new faces play what tricks they will | 让那些新面孔在旧房间里疯闹吧， |
| In the old rooms;night can outbalance day, | 恣意游戏；黑夜比白昼更重， |
| Our shadows rove the garden gravel still, | 我们的影子在花园石径上徘徊， |
| The living seem more shadowy than they. | 比那些活着的人更具生气。 |
