我怎能不欣喜地想

How should I not be glad to contemplate

窗外云开雾散

the clouds clearing beyond the dormer window

天花板上倒映着涨潮？

and a high tide reflected on the ceiling?

会有死亡，会有死亡、

There will be dying, there will be dying,

但这些都无需赘言。

but there is no need to go into that.

诗从手中流出

The poems flow from the hand unbidden

而隐秘的源泉是守望的心。

and the hidden source is the watchful heart.

太阳不顾一切地升起

The sun rises in spite of everything

远方的城市美丽而明亮。

and the far cities are beautiful and bright.

我躺在灿烂的阳光下

I lie here in a riot of sunlight

看着天色渐亮，云朵飞舞。

watching the day break and the clouds flying.

一切都会好起来的。

Everything is going to be all right.
