William Butler Yeats - The Heart of the Woman 汉译

O WHAT to me the little room

That was brimmed up with prayer and rest;

He bade me out into the gloom,

And my breast lies upon his breast.

O what to me my mother’s care,

The house where I was safe and warm;

The shadowy blossom of my hair

Will hide us from the bitter storm.

O hiding hair and dewy eyes,

I am no more with life and death,

My heart upon his warm heart lies,

My breath is mixed into his breath.

女人的心

威廉·巴特勒·叶芝

啊，何用那小小房间

洋溢着祈祷和安宁；

他叫我出门潜入夜暗，

我的胸紧贴他的胸。

呵，何用母亲的关怀

和安全温暖的家居；

我浓密的头发如花开，

将蔽护我们躲风雨。

呵，头发浓密眼晶莹，

从此不再忧虑死生，

我的心紧贴着他的心，

我的气息与他相通。
