历史
叶芝在记录中将该诗称为“是对一首老歌进行重现的尝试,老歌来自于巴利索达尔村一个老农妇记忆中不完整的三条线,她经常唱歌给自己听。”[2]所谓的老歌或许是民谣《快乐的漫步男孩》()[3],歌词中包含如下句子:
- “Down by yon flowery garden my love and I we first did meet.
- I took her in my arms and to her I gave kisses sweet
- She bade me take life easy just as the leaves fall from the tree.
- But I being young and foolish, with my darling did not agree.”
这4句与叶芝诗中的第一节非常相似,这也暗示了这就是叶芝所听老妇所唱的那首歌。然而,歌的余下部分则完全不同。
1895年,这首诗首次刊登时,在现有的标题后面还加上了“老歌新唱”()这行字。[4]
诗文
- Down by the salley gardens my love and I did meet;
- She passed the salley gardens with little snow-white feet.
- She bid me take love easy, as the leaves grow on the tree;
- But I, being young and foolish, with her would not agree.
- In a field by the river my love and I did stand,
- And on my leaning shoulder she laid her snow-white hand.
- She bid me take life easy, as the grass grows on the weirs;
- But I was young and foolish, and now am full of tears.[5]
