Every year without knowing it I have passed the day

一年一度，我竟不知道这个日子

When the last fires will wave to me

当最后的火焰向我招手

And the silence will set out

寂静出发

Tireless traveler

不倦的旅行者

Like the beam of a lightless star

像黯淡星球的光束

Then I will no longer

那时我将发现自己

Find myself in life as in a strange garment

已不在生命里，像在奇异的衣服里

Surprised at the earth

大地

And the love of one woman

一个女人的爱

And the shamelessness of men

男人们的无耻

As today writing after three days of rain

将使我惊讶

Hearing the wren sing and the falling cease

今天，一连下了三日的雨后

And bowing not knowing to what

我听见鹪鹩在鸣唱，檐雨停息

我向它致敬，却不知道它是什么
