Resurrection Fern
In our days we will live
在属于我们的年岁里，我们会活着
Like our ghosts will live
就像我们的魂魄活着
Pitching glass at the cornfield crows
朝玉米地里的乌鸦投玻璃
And folding clothes
翻叠着衣服
Like stubborn boys across the road
就像固执的男孩们过马路
We'll keep everything
我们会记住一切
Grandma's gun and the black bear claw
奶奶的枪和黑熊的爪
That took her dog
那双爪子杀死了她的狗
And when Sister Laurie says amen
当修女劳瑞说阿门时
We won't hear anything
我们听不见
The ten car trains will take that word
十辆小车和火车的声音盖过了她
That fledgling bird
羽翼渐丰的雏鸟
And the fallen house across the way
倒塌的房屋残骸堆积在路上
It'll keep everything
它也会记住一切
The baby's breath
婴孩的呼吸
Our bravery wasted and our shame
勇气白费了，让我们羞愧不已
And we'll undress beside the ashes of the fire
我们在火的灰烬旁宽衣解带
Both our tender bellies wound in baling wire
我们柔软腹部上的伤口被线缝合包扎着
All the more a pair of underwater pearls
水底的珍珠
Than the oak tree and its resurrection fern
比橡树，复苏蕨还要多
In our days we will say
在属于我们的年岁里，我们会说
What our ghosts will say
我们魂魄会说的话
We gave the world what it saw fit
我们给予这个世界最适合的
And what'd we get
而我们又得到了什么？
Like stubborn boys with big green eyes
就像固执的，有着绿色大眼睛的男孩们
We'll see everything
我们会看透一切
In the timid shade of the autumn leaves
在秋叶怯懦的阴影里
And the buzzard's wing
在秃鹰的翅膀下
And we'll undress beside the ashes of the fire
我们在火的灰烬旁宽衣解带
Our tender bellies are wound around in baling wire
我们柔软腹部上的伤口被线缝合包扎着
All the more a pair of underwater pearls
水底的珍珠
Than the oak tree and its resurrection fern
比橡树，复苏蕨还要多
