William Butler Yeats - The Cloak, the Boat, and the Shoes 汉译

WHAT do you make so fair and bright?<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

I make the cloak of Sorrow:

O lovely to see in all men’s sight

Shall be the cloak of Sorrow,

In all men’s sight.

What do you build with sails for flight?

I build a boat for Sorrow

O swift on the seas all day and night

Saileth the rover Sorrow,

All day and night.

What do you weave with wool so white?

I weave the shoes of Sorrow:

Soundless shall be the footfall light

In all men’s ears of Sorrow,

Sudden and light.
