before the beginning of years 年开始前

there came to the making of man 出现了对人的决策

time, with a gift of tears 时间，用泪水礼物

grief, with a glass that ran 悲伤，有玻璃跑

   

pleasure, with pain for leaven 快乐与痛苦的酵

summer, with flowers that fell 夏天，鲜花的下跌

rememberance fallen from heaven 从天上rememberance下降

and madness risen from hell 与来自地狱的疯狂上涨

   

strength without hands to smite 实力不动手击打

love that endures for a breath 爱，忍受了一口气

night the shadow of light 夜晚灯光的阴影

and life the shadow of death 死亡和生命的阴影

   

and the high gods took in hand 和高神拿在手里

fire and the falling of tears 火与泪的下落

and a measure of sliding sand 滑动砂的措施

from under the feet of the years 从下年的脚

   

and froth and drift of the sea 与泡沫和大海的漂流

and dust of the laboring earth 与劳动地上的尘土

and bodies of things to be 和物联网机构要

in the houses of death and of birth 在出生和死亡的房子

   

and wrought with weeping and laughter 又行了哭泣和欢笑

and fashioned with loathing and love 造出了厌恶和爱

with life before and after 与之前和之后的生活

and death beneath and above 和死亡的下方和上方
