叶芝——我的书本去的地方

我的书本去的地方
Where My Books go

ALL the words that I utter,
And all the words that I write,
Must spread out their wings untiring,
And never rest in their flight,
Till they come where your sad, sad heart is,
And sing to you in the night,
Beyond where the waters are moving,
Storm-darken'd or starry bright.


我所学到的所有言语，
我所写出的所有言语，
必然要展翅，不倦地飞行，
决不会在飞行中停一停，
一直飞到你悲伤的心所在的地方，
在夜色中向着你歌唱，
远方，河水正在流淌，
乌云密布，或是灿烂星光。
