A Poem by Yeates - Agalloch

The brawling of a sparrow in the eaves
屋檐下麻雀的喧闹争吵
The brilliant moon and all the milky sky
皎洁明月与漫天星河
And all that famous harmony of leaves
树叶那著名的和谐韵律
Had blotted out man's image and his cry
已抹去人类形象与哀嚎
A girl arose that had red mournful lips
一位红唇少女凄然浮现
And seemed the greatness of the world in tears
恍若整个世界泪眼婆娑
Doomed like Odysseus and the labouring ships
如奥德修斯与苦航船队般注定漂泊
And proud as Priam murdered with his peers
又似普里阿摩斯与群臣傲然赴死
Arose and on the instant clamorous eaves
玫瑰绽放 喧嚣的屋檐骤然苏醒
A climbing moon upon an empty sky
孤月攀爬在空寂的天幕
And all that lamentation of the leaves
万千树叶的哀鸣低泣
Could but compose man's image and his cry
只能拼凑出人类消逝的残影与悲啼
