When You are Old

When You are Old

W.B. Yeats

When you are old and grey, and full of sleep,
And nodding by the fire, take down this book,
And slowly read, and dream of the soft look
Your eyes had once, and of their shadows deep;

How many loved your moments of glad grace,
And loved your beauty with love false or true,
But one man loved the pilgrim soul in you,
And loved the sorrows of your changed face;

And bending down beside the glowing bars,
Murmur, a little sadly, how Love fled
And paced upon the mountains overhead
And hid his face amid a crowd of stars.


執著一生，永不言棄的誓言！
看一次，就感動一次。
有時候，會禁不住灰色的想：如果Maud Gonne嫁給了葉芝，還會不會有這麽深情的詩篇？

[流浪的太陽]

嫁給他肯定沒有了。可能維持幾年。詩人都是愛尋新歡。YIZHI也這樣吧？哈哈
退休後我想專評你的詩去。看看有多少次的愛。

哈哈，2哥的回答堪稱完美！！

[2ndglance]

問得好，可能沒有深情的詩篇，大概會有深情的體貼。。。
詩篇的深情往往是在得不到的時候。。：）））
