W. B. Yeats - Words for Music Perhaps (III) 汉译

III. Crazy Jane on the Day of Judgment <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

“Love is all

Unsatisfied

That cannot take the whole

Body and soul”;

And that is what Jane said.

“Take the sour

If you take me

I can scoff and lour

And scold for an hour.”

“That’s certainly the case,” said he.

“Naked I lay,

The grass my bed;

Naked and hidden away,

That black day”;

And that is what Jane said.

“What can be shown?

What true love be?

All could be known or shown

If Time were but gone.”

“That’s certainly the case,” said he.
