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

XI. His Confidence

Undying love to buy

I wrote upon

The corners of this eye

All wrongs done.

What payment were enough

For undying love?

I broke my heart in two

So hard I struck.

What matter? for I know

That out of rock,

Out of a desolate source,

Love leaps upon its course.

或许可谱曲的歌词

十一、他的信心

威廉·巴特勒·叶芝

为了购买不死的爱

我在这眼角处

记录下来

所犯过的一切错误。

什么样的价钱才算够

要买不死的爱？

我把我的心劈成两半

我那么用力猛击。

有什么关系？因为我

知道爱情出自岩石。

自一个荒凉之处，

跃上它的道路。
