叶芝的英文诗《青春岁月的幻想曲》

The moments passed as at a play;

I had the wisdom love brings forth;

I had my share of mother-wit,

And yet for all that I could say,

And though I had her praise for it,

A cloud blown from the cut-throat North

Suddenly hid Love's moon away.

Believing every word I said,

I praised her body and her mind

Till pride had made her eyes grow bright,

And pleasure made her cheeks grow red,

And vanity her footfall light,

Yet we, for all that praise, could find

Nothing but darkness overhead.
