W. B. Yeats - A Deep-sworn Vow 汉译

Others because you did not keep  

That deep-sworn vow have been friends of mine;  

Yet always when I look death in the face,  

When I clamber to the heights of sleep,  

Or when I grow excited with wine,     

Suddenly I meet your face.

深沉的誓言

威廉·巴特勒·叶芝

因为你不守那深沉的誓言，

别的人就成了我的朋友；

但每当我面对面审视死亡，

每当我攀上睡眠的峰巅，

或每当我纵酒狂放的时候，

突然我就遇见你的脸庞。
