When You Are Old(當你年老)

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.

讀詩不能快，要逐字，跟隨情感起伏，任意流瀉，
詩人用詩，說出每一種愛情的心事，每一個愛情
的秘密，取葉慈（W. B. Yeats, 1865-1939）的 
When You Are Old(當你年老) 細品因為詩給人生
帶來的豐富與美好
