If you would ask me how my sorrow has increased,
Just see the over-brimming river flowing east!
虞美人 李煜
问君能有几多愁,
恰似一江春水向东流。
Very quietly I take my leave
As quietly as I came here;
Quietly I wave good-bye
To the rosy clouds in the western sky.
再别康桥 徐志摩
轻轻的我走了,
正如我轻轻的来;
我轻轻的招手,
作别西天的云彩。
How long will the bright moon appear?
Wine-cup in hand, I ask the sky.
I do not know what time of year,
It would be tonight in the palace on high.
水调歌头 苏轼
明月几时有?把酒问青天。
不知天上宫阙,今夕是何年。
A thousand times I search for her in the crowd
And, suddenly turning my head,
Discover her where the lantern lights are dim.
青玉案.元夕 辛弃疾
众里寻他千百度,
蓦然回首,
那人却在,灯火阑珊处 。
I seek but seek in vain,
I search and search again;
I feel so sad, so drear,
so lonely, without cheer.
声声慢 李清照
寻寻觅觅,
冷冷清清,
凄凄惨惨戚戚。
To be or not to be,
That is a question.

Love
Love is giving ,
Love is living ,
Love is taking someone’s load,
Love helps them along the road.
Love is caring,
Love is sharing,
Love will seek the best for others,
Love treats everyone as brothers.
This morn of spring in bed I’m lying,
Not wake up till I hear birds crying.
After on night of wind and showers,
How many are the fallen flowers!

After the day’s heat,
This feathering of night rain,
Leaves put out their tongues
----Alan Maley
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 changing 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.
当你老了 威廉 巴特勒 叶芝
当你老了,头发花白,睡意沉沉,
倦坐在炉边,取下这本书来,
慢慢读着,追梦当年的眼神
你那柔美的神采与深幽的晕影。
多少人爱过你昙花一现的身影,
爱过你的美貌,以虚伪或真情,
惟独一人曾爱你那朝圣者的心,
爱你哀戚的脸上岁月的留痕。
在炉罩边低眉弯腰,
忧戚沉思,喃喃而语,
爱情是怎样逝去,又怎样步上群山,
在群星之间藏起了它的脸庞。
When you are old
William Butler Yeats
