Down valley a smoke haze

山谷中烟霭弥漫

Three days heat, after five days rain

五日阴雨绵绵，又三天酷热难耐

Pitch glows on the fir-cones

杉果上的树脂晶莹闪亮

Across rocks and meadows

在山岩和草场那边

Swarms of new flies.

刚孵化的苍蝇成串。

I cannot remember things I once read

我无法记起阅读过的书籍

A few friends, but they are in cities.

昔日的几个朋友都留在城里。

Drinking cold snow-water from a tin cup

我用铁皮杯饮用清冽的雪水

Looking down for miles

越过广阔而宁静的长空

Through high still air.

俯瞰遥远的峻岭群山。
