The title of this poem is:
He prayed for his lover to rest in peace.
William Butler Yeats
I heard horses in the shadows, their long manes shaking,
Their hooves are heavy and their eyes are shining white;
The night when the north spread out over them, clung to them and crawled,
The east hides joy before dawn,
The west cries and sighs in the pale dew,
The south is pouring crimson roses;
Ah, the void of sleep, hope, dream, endless desire,
The horse of disaster fell into a heavy mire;
Dear, keep your eyes half closed and your heart is beating.
In my heart, your hair hangs down on my chest,
Drowning the lonely moment of love in the sleeping twilight,
Hide their fluttering manes and chaotic footsteps.
Chinese version: Li:
He wants his lover to be safe.
I vaguely heard a group of horses, their manes fluttering,
There is a clatter of hooves, and eyes are shining with white light;
In the north, night hangs over horses,
East, hide its joy before dawn,
In the west, crying and lamenting in the white dew,
In the south, red roses are flying;
Oh, sleep, hope, dream, wish, emptiness,
The disaster horse got stuck in the thick mud;
Dear, please half close your eyes, your heart is beating.
In my heart, your hair hangs down on my chest,
When you indulge in the loneliness of love, it is a deep dawn.
Pegasus mane and messy hoofbeat are hidden.
