W. B. Yeats - A Woman Young and Old (I)汉译

I. FATHER AND CHILD

She hears me strike the board and say

That she is under ban

Of all good men and women,

Being mentioned with a man

That has the worst of all bad names;

And thereupon replies

That his hair is beautiful,

Cold as the March wind his eyes.

一个女人的青年和老年

一、父与女

威廉·巴特勒·叶芝

她听见我拍案诉说

所有的好男好女

都把她诅咒谴责，

一齐提到的还有

一个臭名昭著的男人；

于是随日应声：

他的头发美丽，

眼波清冷象三月的风。
