Golden Apples of The Sun

William B Yeats (1865-1939) From The Wind Among the Reeds (1899)

The Song of Wandering Aengus

I went out to the hazel wood,
Because a fire was in my head,
And cut and peeled a hazel wand,
And hooked a berry to a thread;
And when white moths were on the wing
And moth-like stars were flickering out,
I dropped the berry in a stream
and caught a little silver trout.
只因胸中火一团，

只身前往榛树林， 

砍个榛枝做鱼竿，

再把浆果丝线串；

当那白蛾展翅翔，

如蛾星光渐暗淡，

甩杆投饵溪水溅，

银色鳟鱼入手间。

 
When I had laid it on the floor
I went to blow the fire aflame,
but something rustled on the floor,
And some one called me by my name:
It had become a glimmering girl
With apple blossom in her hair
Who called me by my name and ran
And faded through the brightening air.

把鱼放到地板上，

再去吹火火焰旺，

忽闻地板沙沙响，

我的名字被人喊：

发现少女鳟鱼变

头戴苹果花束环

喊我名字转身跑，

晨曦曙光中不见。

Though I am old with wandering
Through hollow lands and hilly lands,
I will find out where she has gone,
And kiss her lips and take her hands;
And walk among long dappled grass,
And pluck till time and times are done
The silver apples of the moon,
The golden apples of the sun.

何顾年迈路遥远，

穿越田野爬高山，

我要追寻伊芳踪，

相伴红颜把手牵；

茫茫原野草间行，

悠悠时光飞向前，

摘下月宫银苹果，

取下太阳金苹果。
