Hair stands high on the cat's back like 头发高高地矗立在猫的背上像

a ridge of threatening hills. 威胁丘陵的山脊。

Sheepdogs howl, make tracks and growl --- 牧羊犬狂吠，使轨道和咆哮---

their tails hanging low. 它们的尾巴挂低。

And young children falter in their games 幼儿动摇他们的游戏

at the altar of life's hide-and-seek 在生命的祭坛隐藏和寻求

between tall pillars, where Sunday-night killers 高大的柱子，在周日晚的杀手

in grey raincoats peek. 灰色雨衣偷看。

   

Misty colours unfold a backcloth cold --- 迷蒙的色彩展开一个backcloth冷---

fine tapestry of silk 丝绸织锦精品

I draw around me like a cloak 我画我身边像斗篷

and soundless glide a-drifting 和无声滑过A-漂流

on eddies whirled in beech leaves furled --- 在漩涡中旋转着山毛榉叶子收拢---

brown and gold they fly 棕色和金色执飞

in the warm mesh of sunlight 在阳光的温暖目

sifting now from a cloudless sky. 现在从万里无云的天空中筛选。

   

I'll be coming again like an old dog in pain 我会再来像一个老的狗在痛苦

Blown through the eye of the hurricane 通过飓风眼吹

Down to the stones where old ghosts play. 下到石头那里的老鬼玩。
