Down valley a smoke haze

山谷中烟云迷雾

Three days heat, after five days rain

五日大雨，三天酷热

Pitch glows on the fir-cones

松果上树脂闪光

Across rocks and meadows

在巨岩和草地对面

Swarms of new flies.

新生的苍蝇成群。

I cannot remember things I once read

我已经记不起我读过的书

A few friends, but they are in cities.

曾有几个朋友，但他们留在城里。

Drinking cold snow-water from a tin cup

用铁皮杯子喝寒冽的雪水

Looking down for miles

越过高爽宁静的长天

Through high still air.

遥望百里之外。
