W. B. Yeats - That the Night Come 汉译

She lived in storm and strife,

Her soul had such desire

For what proud death may bring

That it could not endure

The common good of life,

But lived as ’twere a king

That packed his marriage day

With banneret and pennon,

Trumpet and kettledrum,

And the outrageous cannon,

To bundle time away

That the night come.

以使夜晚来临

威廉·巴特勒·叶芝

她生活在风暴和斗争之中，

她的灵魂渴求

骄傲的死亡所能带来的一切，

以使它得以不再忍受

生命的寻常好处，

而象一个国王那样生活，

用四方旗和三角旗，

号角和军鼓，

还有愤怒的炮声，

包裹起他的成婚之日，

把时间捆起拿走，

以使夜晚来临。
