W. B. Yeats - In Memory of Major Robert Gregory (7)汉译

For all things the delighted eye now sees  

Were loved by him; the old storm-broken trees 

That cast their shadows upon road and bridge;  

The tower set on the stream’s edge;  

The ford where drinking cattle make a stir  

Nightly, and startled by that sound  

The water-hen must change her ground;  

He might have been your heartiest welcomer.  

纪念罗伯特•格雷戈里少校（七）

威廉·巴特勒·叶芝

因为愉悦的目光现在所看见的万物

曾经都为他所热爱；把荫影抛撤在

道路和桥梁上的被风暴吹折的树木；

矗立在溪流岸边的塔堡；

那里有饮水的牛群在夜间

哗哗搅动、惊扰得水鸡

不得不搬迁挪窝的浅滩；

他本可以是你的最诚挚热情的接待者。
