W. B. Yeats - The Cat and the Moon 汉译

The cat went here and there  

And the moon spun round like a top,  

And the nearest kin of the moon  

The creeping cat looked up.  

Black Minnaloushe stared at the moon,     

For wander and wail as he would  

The pure cold light in the sky  

Troubled his animal blood.  

Minnaloushe runs in the grass,  

Lifting his delicate feet. 

Do you dance, Minnaloushe, do you dance?  

When two close kindred meet  

What better than call a dance?  

Maybe the moon may learn,  

Tired of that courtly fashion,  

A new dance turn.  

Minnaloushe creeps through the grass  

From moonlit place to place,  

The sacred moon overhead  

Has taken a new phase.  

Does Minnaloushe know that his pupils  

Will pass from change to change,  

And that from round to crescent,  

From crescent to round they range?  

Minnaloushe creeps through the grass  

Alone, important and wise,  

And lifts to the changing moon  

His changing eyes.
