Whenyouareoldandgreyandfullofsleep,
Andnoddingbythefire,takedownthisbook,
Andslowlyread,anddreamofthesoftlook
Youreyeshadonce,andoftheirshadowsdeep;
Howmanylovedyourmomentsofgladgrace,
Andlovedyourbeautywithlovefalseortrue,
ButonemanlovedthepilgrimSoulinyou,
Andlovedthesorrowsofyourchangingface;
Andbendingdownbesidetheglowingbars,

当你老了(袁可嘉译)
当你老了,头白了,睡意昏沉,
炉火旁打盹,请取下这部诗歌,
慢慢读,回想你过去眼神的柔和,
回想它们昔日浓重的阴影;
