just where it now lies I can no longer say 只是它现在已成了我再也不能说

I found it on a cold and November day 我发现它在一个寒冷和11月的一天

in the roots of a sycamore tree where it had hid so long 在梧桐树的地方藏了这么久根

in a box made out of myrtle lay the bone of song 在做出来的桃金娘的一箱奠定歌曲的骨

the bone of song was a jawbone old and bruised 曲骨是下颚骨老伤痕累累

and worn out in the service of the muse 和陈旧的缪斯的服务

and along its sides and teeth were written words 并沿其两侧和牙齿书面文字

I ran my palm along them and I heard 我跑我的手掌沿着他们，我听说

lucky are you who finds me in the wilderness 幸运的是你谁发现我在旷野

I am the only unquiet ghost that does not seek rest 我是唯一不平静的鬼，不求休息

the words on the bone of song were close and small 在歌曲的骨头的话接近，小

and though their tongues were dead I found I knew them all 虽然他们的舌头都死了，我发现我知道他们都

in the hieroglyphs of quills and quatrain lines 在套筒和七绝线的象形文字

Osiris—the fall of Troy—Auld Lang Syne 奥西里斯 - 特洛伊 - 友谊地久天长的秋天

Kathleen Mauvoreen—Magnificat—Your Cheatin' Heart 凯瑟琳Mauvoreen -尊，你不忠的心

the chords of a covenant king singing for the Ark 立约的国王唱歌的方舟的和弦

then I saw on a white space that was left 然后我看到了留下空格

a blessing written older than the rest 比其他书面年长的祝福

it said leave me here I care not for wealth or fame 它说，离开我这里，我在乎的不是财富或名声

I'll remember your song – but I'll forget your name 我会记得你的歌 - 但我会忘了你的名字

the words that I sang blew off like the leaves in the wind 我唱的话吹掉了像树叶在风中

and perched like birds in the branches before landing on the bone again 和栖息像鸟在枝头再次降落在骨前

then the bone was quiet it said no more to me 那么骨很安静也没有再对我

so I wrapped it in the ribbons of a sycamore tree 所以我把它包在梧桐树上的彩带

and as night had come I turned around and headed home 而作为当晚来到我转过身，头球破门

with a lightness in my step and a song in my bones 在我的步骤中的亮度和一首歌曲在我的骨头

lucky are you who finds me in the wilderness 幸运的是你谁发现我在旷野

I am the only unquiet ghost that does not seek rest 我是唯一不平静的鬼，不求休息
