〈流浪者安格斯之歌〉葉慈

I went out to the hazel wood, 我遊蕩到一片榛木林，

Because a fire was in my head, 因為心中有團火，

And cut and peeled a hazel wand, 削下一段榛木棒，剝去樹皮，

And hooked a berry to a thread; 在釣線上鉤顆漿果；

And when white moths were on the wing, 當白蛾振翼時，

And moth-like stars were flickering out, 當星星若飛蛾般閃爍，

I dropped the berry in a stream 我把漿果拋入溪中

And caught a little silver trout. 釣起一尾小銀鱒。

When I had laid it on the floor 我將銀鱒放在地上

I went to blow the fire a-flame, 把火吹旺，

But something rustled on the floor, 地板上沙沙作響，

And some one called me by my name: 有人叫喚我的名字：

It had become a glimmering girl 鱒魚變成一個發光的少女

With apple blossom in her hair 頭上插朵蘋果花

Who called me by my name and ran 她邊叫我的名字，邊跑

And faded through the brightening air. 消失在耀眼的天邊。

Though I am old with wandering 久經流浪，我已老朽

Through hollow lands and hilly lands, 穿越崎嶇的高原和山谷，

I will find out where she has gone, 我也要找到她的去向，

And kiss her lips and take her hands; 親她的嘴，牽她的手；

And walk among long dappled grass, 走過斑點燦爛的草地，

And pluck till time and times are done 任時光流逝，摘取

The silver apples of the moon, 月亮的銀蘋果，

The golden apples of the sun. 太陽的金蘋果。

──老克在【麥迪遜之橋】中對梅莉史翠普背上最後這兩句，

在首遇的晚餐後之散步中。

兩人踩在碎砂路上，鞋子與小砂摩擦的聲響在夜間細小清亮，

梅莉史翠普的臉上綻放著一種光──

人們再度從床上躍起的晨光！
