The Lake Isle of Innisfree by W illiam Butler Yeats
(抑扬格为主:轻重交替)
I'will a'rise'and go'now,and'go to'Innisfree,
'And a small'cabin build'there,of'clay and'wattlesmade:
Nine'bean-rows will'Ihave'there,a'hive for the'honey-bee,
And'live a'lone in the'bee-loud'glade.
And'Ishall'have some'peace there,for'peace comes'dropping'slow,
'Dropping'from the'veils of the'morning,to'where the'cricket'sings;
There'midnight's'all a'glimmer,and'noon a'purple'glow,
And'evening'full of the'linnet's'wings.
I'will a'rise'and go'now,for'always'night and'day,
I'hear lake'water'lapping'with low'sounds by the'shore;
While'Istand'on the'roadway,'or on the'pavements'gray,
I'hear it'in the'deep heart's'core.
参考译文:
茵梦湖岛畅想
——威廉·布特勒·叶芝(https://www.daowen.com)
我这就启程,去茵梦湖岛,
建一个小屋,用黏土和枝条;
种九垄豆秧,养一箱蜜蜂,
看蜂飞舞听蜂嗡嘤,独享时光潇洒。
我将享受宁静缓缓来临,
从晨雾袅袅的黎明到蟋蟀鸣叫的黄昏,
小岛的午夜万物隐约,正午时分满目紫色辉光,
傍晚红雀成群,翩翩相随。
我这就启程,去茵梦湖岛,
我总会听到湖水轻拍着湖岸荡漾,
无论当我驻足或行走在灰暗的人行道上,
湖水的声音总在我的内心深处回响。
