這首詩 - 死者總是向下看著我們,他們說,雖然我們正在穿我們的鞋子,或作一個三明治,他們正透過玻璃底船向下看,因為他們的天堂慢行通過自己的永恆。他們看下面的我們頭頂於地球上移動,當我們躺在地上或在沙發上,也許在熱烈下午吞雲吐霧了,他們認為我們回頭看他們,使他們提高他們的槳落沉默等待,如父母,我們閉上眼睛。
The Poem - The dead are always looking down on us, they say, while we are putting on our shoes or making a sandwich, they are looking down through the glass-bottom boats, of heaven as they row themselves slowly through eternity. They watch the tops of our heads moving below on earth, And when we lie down in a field or on a couch, Drugged perhaps by the hum of a warm afternoon, They think we are looking back at them, which makes them lift their oars and fall silent and wait, like parents, for us to close our eyes.
