William Butler Yeats - A Poet to His Beloved 汉译

I BRING you with reverent hands

The books of my numberless dreams, <?xml:namespace prefix = o />

White woman that passion has worn

As the tide wears the dove-grey sands,

And with heart more old than the horn

That is brimmed from the pale fire of time:

White woman with numberless dreams,

I bring you my passionate rhyme.

诗人致所爱

威廉·巴特勒·叶芝

犹如潮水销蚀鸽灰的沙滩，

那被情热销蚀的白皙女人，

我带给你我无数梦的结集——

以虔诚恭敬的双手和比起

那由于时光的苍白的火焰

而饱满的弯月更古老的心：

拥有无数的梦的白皙女人，

我带给你我的热情的诗韵。
