Our Lives Pass Away
by David Budbill

Summer sunlight
glitters on the water.

Sweet colors of fall
drift down and land
on my new woodpile.

Winter is full of snow
and cold, but inside
the woodstove glows.

Then spring again
Our lives pass away.

生命的消逝

夏天的阳光
在水面上闪闪发亮。

秋天甜蜜的色彩
飘落停留在
新码的柴堆上。

冬天充满雪
和寒冷，可室内
柴炉火正旺 。

而后春天再次降临
我们的生命消逝。
