When You are Old by William Butler Yeats
When You are Old当你老了 by William Butler Yeats When you are old and gray and full of sleep 当你老了，白发苍苍，睡思昏沉， And nodding by the fire, take down this book, 在炉火旁打盹，请取下这部诗歌， And slowly read, and dream of the soft look 慢慢读，回想你过去眼神的柔和 Your eyes had once, and of their shadows deep; 回想它们过去的浓重的阴影； How many loved your moments of glad grace, 多少人爱你年轻欢畅的时候 And loved your beauty with love false or true; 出于假意或真心地爱慕你的美貌，
