When You Are Old
When you are old and gray 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.
當妳老了 （葉芝）
當妳老了，白發蒼蒼，睡思昏沈，
在爐火旁打盹，請取下這部詩歌，
慢慢讀，回想妳過去眼神的柔和
回想它們過去的濃重的陰影；
多少人愛妳年輕歡暢的時候
出於假意或真心地愛慕妳的美貌，
只有壹個人愛妳那朝聖者的靈魂，
愛妳老去的容顏的痛苦的皺紋。
躬身在紅光閃耀的爐火旁，
淒然地低語，愛為何消逝，
在頭頂的山上，它緩緩踱著步子，
將臉隱沒在群星之中。

世界上最遠的距離
泰戈爾
世界上最遠的距離
不是 生與死的距離
而是 我站在妳面前
妳不知道我愛妳
世界上最遠的距離
不是 我站在妳面前
妳不知道我愛妳
而是 愛到癡迷
卻不能說我愛妳
世界上最遠的距離
不是 我不能說我愛妳
而是 想妳痛徹心脾
卻只能深埋心底
世界上最遠的距離
不是 我不能說我想妳
而是 彼此相愛
卻不能夠在壹起
世界上最遠的距離
不是 彼此相愛
卻不能夠在壹起
而是明知道真愛無敵
卻裝作毫不在意
世界上最遠的距離
不是 樹與樹的距離
而是 同根生長的樹枝
卻無法在風中相依
世界上最遠的距離
不是 樹枝無法相依
而是 相互了望的星星
卻沒有交匯的軌跡
世界上最遠的距離
不是 星星之間的軌跡
而是 縱然軌跡交匯
卻在轉瞬間無處尋覓
世界上最遠的距離
不是 瞬間便無處尋覓
而是 尚未相遇
便註定無法相聚
世界上最遠的距離
是魚與飛鳥的距離
壹個在天,壹個卻深潛海底
《The most distant way in the world 》
The most distant way in the world
is not the way from birth to the end.
it is when i sit near you
that you don't understand i love u.
The most distant way in the world
is not that you're not sure i love u.
It is when my love is bewildering the soul
but i can't speak it out.
The most distant way in the world
is not that i can't say i love u.
it is after looking into my heart
i can't change my love.
The most distant way in the world
is not that i'm loving u.
it is in our love
we are keeping between the distance.
The most distant way in the world
is not the distance across us.
it is when we're breaking through the way
we deny the existance of love.
So the most distant way in the world
is not in two distant trees.
it is the same rooted branches
can't enjoy the co-existance.
So the most distant way in the world
is not in the being sepearated branches.
it is in the blinking stars
they can't burn the light.
So the most distant way in the world
is not the burning stars.
it is after the light
they can't be seen from afar.
So the most distant way in the world
is not the light that is fading away.
it is the coincidence of us
is not supposed for the love.
So the most distant way in the world
is the love between the fish and bird.
one is flying at the sky,
the other is looking upon into the sea
