English text
1.
- 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.
2.
- 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.
W. B. Yeats
