William Butler Yeats: 威廉 中文歌:当你老了
歌词源自爱尔兰著名诗人William Butler Yeats(叶芝)
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;
当你老了,头发白了,睡意昏沉,
炉火旁打盹,请取下这部诗歌,
慢慢读,回想你过去眼神的柔和,
回想它们昔日浓重的阴影;
