如果我们是尘埃，正如我们是，尘埃将飘升，正如尘埃飘升，

If we, as we are, are dust, and dust, as it will, rises,

那么我们将飘升，将重新集合

Then we will rise, and recongregate

在风中，在云中，成为风云的儿女。

In the wind, in the cloud, and be their issue,

在飘落中，在飘落的世界里，

Things in a fall in a world of fall, and slip

滑过冬青树尖尖的枝和折断的节，

Through the spiked branches and snapped joints of the evergreens,

白蚁，白蚁和瘦小的肋骨。

White ants, white ants and the little ribs.
