:
Today we are obliged to be romantic今朝兮兮,望君风流,
And think of yet another valentine.翌宰霏霏,共此时欢。
We know the rules and we are both pedantic:年岁叹叹,故作心安:
Today’s the day we have to be romantic.今朝兮兮,望君风流。
Our love is old and sure, not new and frantic.旧情暧暧,亘古长传。
You know I’m yours and I know you are mine.与君靡靡,佳偶天成。
And saying that has made me feel romantic,温情侃侃,卿言如岚,
My dearest love, my darling valentine.浓情戚戚,白首阑珊。

6. ‘A Drinking Song’ by W.B. Yeats
《饮酒歌》—— 威廉·勃特勒·叶芝(1865~ 1939)

从题目看,这似乎不像首情诗,很多人争议说它其实是在歌颂美酒。不过不管怎样,这首诗充满了罗曼蒂克的情调这是无可否认的。诗人在第一句中写道:“酒之醇美兮,得于舌喉;爱之深浓兮,望乎眼眸(Wine comes in at the mouth and love comes in at the eye)”,不过,若是一觉醒来闻着自己浑身酒味儿,眼前看到的是邋遢素颜的她/他,你可一定得做好心理准备。
