W. B. Yeats - Two Songs of a Fool (I) 汉译

A speckled cat and a tame hare  

Eat at my hearthstone  

And sleep there;  

And both look up to me alone  

For learning and defence      

As I look up to Providence.  

I start out of my sleep to think  

Some day I may forget  

Their food and drink;  

Or, the house door left unshut, 

The hare may run till it’s found  

The horn’s sweet note and the tooth of the hound.  

I bear a burden that might well try  

Men that do all by rule,  

And what can I  

That am a wandering witted fool  

But pray to God that He ease  

My great responsibilities?
