I will arise and go now, and go to Innisfree,
And a small cabin build there, of clay and wattles made;
Nine bean-rows will I have there, a hive for the honey-bee,
And live alone in the bee-loud glade.
And I shall have some peace there, for peace comes dropping slow,
Dropping from the veils of the morning to where the cricket sings;
There midnights all a glimmer, and noon a purple glow,
And evening full of the linnets wings.
I will arise and go now, for always night and day
I hear lake water lapping with low sounds by the shore;
While I stand on the roadway, or on the pavements grey,
I hear it in the deep hearts core.
我將動身,前往茵尼斯弗利島,
蓋一間小屋,只需泥土柳條;
種幾壟豆子,做一個蜂巢,
一人獨處,靜聽群蜂吵鬧。
我來品嘗寧靜,寧靜的腳步輕輕悄悄,
從晨曦的薄紗到蟋蟀的歡叫;
傍晚時分展翅的紅雀鋪天蓋地,
半夜微光閃爍,正午紫霞輝耀。
我將動身,因為日日夜夜,分分秒秒,
我總能聽見湖水拍岸的浪濤;
無論站在寬闊的馬路還是灰暗的便道,
這濤聲總在我心靈深處縈繞。
