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

如果今日的你我只是尘埃，而尘埃自会升腾，

Then we will rise, and recongregate

那么你我将会升腾，尔后再度聚集

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

在风中、在云间，化作它们的子息，

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

化为下落世界中下落的事物，然后闪落

Through the spiked branches and snapped joints of the evergreens,

穿过挓开的细圆树杈和摩挲的冬青枝叶，

White ants, white ants and the little ribs.

犹如白蚁以及白蚁以及它们的楚腰。
