Down by the Salley Gardens
By William Butler Yeats
Down by the salley gardens my love and I did meet;
She passed the salley gardens with little snow-white feet.
She bid me take love easy, as the leaves grow on the tree;
But I, being young and foolish, with her would not agree.
In a field by the river my love and I did stand,
And on my leaning shoulder she laid her snow-white hand.
She bid me take life easy, as the grass grows on the weirs;
But I was young and foolish, and now am full of tears.

經柳園而下
經柳園而下,我曾遇上我的愛,
她走過柳園,纖足雪白。
她要我自然地去愛,就像樹木吐出新芽。
但我,年少愚笨,不曾聽從。
在河邊的田野裏,我曾和我的愛人駐足,
在我傾靠的肩上,她放下雪白的手。
她要我自然地生活,就像堤堰長出青草,
但那時,我年少愚笨,如今淚濕衣衫。
