He Tells of a Valley Full of Lovers
[愛爾蘭]威廉·巴勒特·葉芝
William Buther Yeats
我夢見我站在山穀之中，周圍是一片歎息，
幸福的戀人成雙成對地走過我的身旁；
我夢見我逝去的愛悄然從林中走出，
雲樣的眼瞼遮掩了夢幻般的雙眸；
我在夢中呼喊，姑娘們啊，
讓少年們把頭放於你們的膝上，用你們的秀發遮蓋他們的眼睛，
否則，若記起她的容顏，他們便不會在別的臉上看到美麗。
直到這世界上所有的山穀都枯萎消盡。
I dreamed that l stood in a valley， and amid sighs，
For happy lovers passed two by two where l stood；
And I dreamed my lost love came stealthily out of the wood，
With her cloud-pale eyelids falling on dream-dimmed eyes；
I cried in my dream， O women， bid the young men lay，
Their heads on your knees， and drown their eyes with your hair，
Or remembering hers they will find no other face fair.
Till all valleys of the world have been withered away.
