双语诗歌|叶芝：野兔的锁骨 The Collar-Bone of a Hare

The Collar-Bone of a Hare	野兔的锁骨
Would I could cast a sail on the water	愿我可以扬帆远航，
Where many a king has gone	去君王们与公主们
And many a king's daughter,	经过的海上，
And alight at the comely trees and the lawn,	行到林间，行到草野，
The playing upon pipes and the dancing,	行到风笛和舞蹈的地方，
And learn that the best thing is	得知那最为美妙的事情
To change my loves while dancing	莫过于更换舞伴，
And pay but a kiss for a kiss.	仅以一吻，相识，相还。
I would find by the edge of that water	愿我在海边拾得
The collar-bone of a hare	被浪涛打薄的
Worn thin by the lapping of water,	一只野兔的锁骨，
And pierce it through with a gimlet and stare	钻出洞来，然后
At the old bitter world where they marry in churches,	从中窥望,那苦难的往世——那里，
And laugh over the untroubled water	他们在教堂里举行婚礼；
At all who marry in churches,	从中窥望，在平静的海上，
Through the white thin bone of a hare.	嘲笑所有走入教堂的情侣。
