W. B. Yeats - A Friend’s Illness 汉译

Sickness brought me this

Thought, in that scale of his:

Why should I be dismayed

Though flame had burned the whole

World, as it were a coal,

Now I have seen it weighed

Against a soul?

一位朋友的疾病

威廉·巴特勒·叶芝

疾病带给我这种

想法，在他那磅秤中：

虽然世界仿佛一块煤炭，

烈火已把它焚尽，

但如今我看到一个灵魂

与它轻重一般，

我又何须灰心？
