The Wheel 輪回

Through winter-time we call on spring, 

And through the spring on summer call, 

And when abounding hedges ring 

Declare that winter’s best of all; 

And after that there’s nothing good 

Because the spring-time has not come-- 

Nor know that what disturbs our blood 

Is but its longing for the tomb. 

輪回

威廉·巴特勒·葉芝

冬天里我們呼喚和煦的春光，

春天里我們期待夏天的驕陽，

當繁茂的綠籬秋風瑟瑟，

又說冬天最該贊賞；

可冬天來了又一無是處，

因為春天還未重新登場－－

難以明白困擾生命的活力，

無非是對墳?zāi)沟目释?/font>
