Down By the Salley Gardens
BY WILLIAM BUTLER YEATS
Down by the salley gardens
my love and I did meet;
She passed the salley gardens
with little snow-white feet.
She bid me take love easy,
as the leaves grow on the tree;
But I, being young and foolish,
with her would not agree.
In a field by the river
my love and I did stand,
And on my leaning shoulder
she laid her snow-white hand.
She bid me take life easy,
as the grass grows on the weirs;
But I was young and foolish,
and now am full of tears.

悠悠垂柳园
悠悠垂柳园
有我心爱相依陪，
她漫步穿柳园
纤足盈莹似雪飞
嘱我爱情需柔缓
当如枝梢叶萌芽；
悔我年少又痴狂，
执意不从她。
河畔芳草田
有我心爱相倚傍，
纤手栖我肩
玉指润白如雪扬。
嘱我生活宜释然，
当如青草择堰昌；
悔我年少又痴狂，
今夕泪满裳。
