一首用葉芝旳詩編成旳英文歌歌詞

此歌是根據(jù)葉芝的同名詩歌〈Down By the Salley Garden〉譜曲而成，最初翻譯為《柳園里》，是葉芝早年的詩作。他的早年詩歌韻律優(yōu)美，感情細膩，辭藻華麗，象征意味濃郁，明顯受到英國浪漫主義和法國象征主義詩歌的影響。

In a field by the river 在河流畔的曠野

She laid her snow-white hand是她柔白的手所倚
She bid me take life easy她請我珍重生命
As the grass grows on the weirs像生長在河堰的韌草
But I was young and foolish但我是如此年輕而無知
And now am full of tears如今只剩下無限的淚水
