至于死亡 给人以痛苦的

致命的拥抱的你

你想来恐吓我是毫无用处的

 助产医生毫不畏缩地来做他的工作

我看见他的老年人的

手压挤着 接受着 支持着

我靠在精致柔软的门边

注视着出口 注意到

痛苦的减轻和免除

至于你 尸体 我想你是

很好的肥料 这我并不介意

我嗅着生长着的芳香的白玫瑰

我伸手抚摩叶子的嘴唇

我抚摩西瓜的光滑的胸脯

至于你 生命

我想你是许多死亡的遗物

啊 天上的星星哟

我听见你在那里低语

啊 太阳哟 啊 墓边的青草哟

啊 永恒的转变和前进哟

假使你们不说什么 我又能说什么呢

秋天树林中的混浊的水塘

从萧瑟的黄昏绝岩降下来的月亮

摇动吧 白天和黑夜的闪光

在垃圾堆里腐朽的茎叶上摇晃

伴着干槁的树枝的悲痛的谵语摇晃

我从月亮上升 我从黑夜上升

我觉出这膝胧的微光乃是午间的

日光的反映 我要从这些大小的

子孙走出 走到那固定的中心

And as to you Death  and you bitter hug of

mortality  it is idle to try to alarm me

To his work without flinching the accoucheur comes

I see the elder-hand pressing receiving supporting

I recline by the sills of the exquisite flexible doors

And mark the outlet  and mark the relief and escape

And as to you Corpse I think you are good manure

but that does not offend me I smell the white roses 

sweet-scented and growing I reach to the leafy lips

 I reach to the polish'd breasts of melons

And as to you Life I reckon you are the 

leavings of many deaths

I hear you whispering there O stars of heaven

 O suns--O grass of graves

O perpetual transfers and promotions

If you do not say any thing how can I say any thing

Of the turbid pool that lies in the autumn forest

Of the moon that descends

 the steeps of the soughing twilight

Toss  sparkles of day and

dusk--toss on the dry limbs

I ascend from the moon 

I ascend from the night

I perceive that the ghastly

glimmer is noonday sunbeams reflected

And debouch to the steady and

central from the offspring great or small
