Down by the Salley Gardens

By William Butler Yeats

Down by the salley gardens my love and I did meet;
She passed the salley gardens with little snow-white feet.
She bid me take love easy, as the leaves grow on the tree;
But I, being young and foolish, with her would not agree.

In a field by the river my love and I did stand,
And on my leaning shoulder she laid her snow-white hand.
She bid me take life easy, as the grass grows on the weirs;
But I was young and foolish, and now am full of tears.

經柳園而下

經柳園而下，我曾遇上我的愛，
她走過柳園，纖足雪白。
她要我自然地去愛，就像樹木吐出新芽。
但我，年少愚笨，不曾聽從。

在河邊的田野裏，我曾和我的愛人駐足，
在我傾靠的肩上，她放下雪白的手。
她要我自然地生活，就像堤堰長出青草，
但那時，我年少愚笨，如今淚濕衣衫。
