The Lake Isle of Innisfree 茵湖島

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.

此刻我將動身前去，去那茵湖島，

在那兒搭建一座小木屋，以泥塊枝椏編織而成;

種幾地大豆，弄個蜂巢，養些蜜蜂，

遺世獨立于那片蜂兒高鳴的林間野地。

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.

我將在那兒安詳過日子，這安詳緩緩滴落

由清晨的迷蒙到蟋蟀的鳴唱;

那兒的子夜，星光閃爍;中午，紫光一片;

而黃昏，飛滿野雀的紅翼。

I will arise and go now， for always night and day，

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

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

I hear it in the deep heart’s core.

此刻我將動身前去，因為日日夜夜

我聽到那湖水輕拍岸邊的低語，

當我佇足在大道上，或在灰蒙的小徑時，

我聽到那湖水在我心深處回響不絕。

by William Butler Yeats， 1865-1939
