Down valley a smoke haze

山谷深处烟雾缭绕，

Three days heat, after five days rain

连下五天雨，跟着三天酷暑

Pitch glows on the fir-cones

冷杉球果松脂闪光

Across rocks and meadows

岩石上，草地上

Swarms of new flies.

新生的苍蝇密密麻麻。

I cannot remember things I once read

想不起来读过什么

A few friends, but they are in cities.

几个朋友，都在城里。

Drinking cold snow-water from a tin cup

喝马口铁杯子里冰冷的雪水

Looking down for miles

目光越过静止苍穹

Through high still air.

俯瞰几英里外地方。
