"在莎莉花园深处"是一首诗。诗的名字叫做《Down By the Salley Garden》，作者是威廉·巴特勒·叶芝。

原文背景：叶芝的手稿中记录了这首歌的创作背景。叶芝在爱尔兰西部的斯莱戈郊外的村庄里，听见了一位年迈的农民在哼唱一首民谣，名叫The Rambling Boys of Pleasure，歌词里就提到了Salley Gardens ("It was down by Salley's Garden one evening late I took my way")。叶芝觉得很好听，就过去想听完整版。然而这位年迈的农民已经不记得完整的歌词了。于是，叶芝就自己为这首民谣填上了词，并命名为An Old Song Re-Sung。

一、原文

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 i m full of tears.....

二、译文

在莎莉花园深处，我和吾爱曾经相遇。
她穿越莎莉花园，以雪白的小脚。
她嘱咐我要爱得轻松，当新叶在枝桠萌芽。
但我当年年幼无知，不予轻率苟同。
在河边的田野，吾爱与我曾经驻足。
她依靠在我的肩膀，以雪白的小手。
她嘱咐我要活得轻松，当青草在堤岸滋长。
但我当年年幼无知，而今热泪盈眶。
