The Lake Isle of Innisfree

The Lake Isle of Innisfree

By W.B.Yeats

I will arise and go now,and go to Innisfree,

And a small cabin build there, of clay and wattles made;

Nine bean-rows will I have there, a hive for the honey-bee,

And live alone in the bee-loud glade.

And I shall 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 arise and go now, for always night and day

I hear lake water lapping with low sounds by the shore;

While I stand on the roadway, or on the pavements gray,

I hear it in the deep heart's core.

湖心岛茵尼斯弗利

[爱尔兰] 威廉·巴特勒·叶芝

我就要起身走了，到茵尼斯弗利岛，

造座小茅屋在那里，枝条编墙糊上泥；

我要养上一箱蜜蜂，种上九行豆角，

独住在蜂声嗡嗡的林间草地。

那儿安宁会降临我，安宁慢慢儿滴下来，

从晨的面纱滴落到蛐蛐歌唱的地方；

那儿半夜闪着微光，中午染着紫红光彩，

而黄昏织满了红雀的翅膀。

我就要起身走了，因为从早到晚从夜到朝

我听得湖水在不断轻轻拍岸。

不论我站在马路上，还是在灰色人行道，

总听得它在我心灵深处呼唤。
