Now is the globe shrunk tight

现在地球紧紧抽缩

Round the mouse’s dulled wintering heart.

裹住老鼠愚钝的越冬的心脏。

Weasel and crow, as if moulded in brass,

鼬鼠和乌鸦，仿佛铜铸的模型，

Move through an outer darkness

疯疯癫癫地同其他死亡

Not in their right minds,

在外面的黑暗中游荡，

With the other deaths. She, too, pursues her ends,

她，也在追逐着自己的末日，

Brutal as the stars of this month,

冷酷得象这个月的星辰，

Her pale head heavy as metal.

惨白的脑袋重如金属。
