W. B. Yeats - The Great Day 汉译

Hurrah for revolution and more cannon-shot;

A beggar upon horseback lashes a beggar upon foot.

Hurrah for revolution and cannon come again,

The beggars have changed places, but the lash goes on.

伟大的日子

威廉·巴特勒·叶芝

为革命欢呼，更多大炮开火；

一个骑马的乞丐鞭打走路的乞丐；

革命的欢呼和大炮再次到来，

乞丐们换了位置，鞭打却仍继续。
