Change and decay,
Besets all that's earth and dust and clay,
And mock the glories of men's days;
For the worne and cracked and less needed,
Are crushed,wetted and kneaded,
And formed anew as is truly needed
Hence all that's new are formed of the old;
The old as largely untold,
And concealed in the treatment of pressure,heat and cold
尘与土的形状
变化着，衰退着
那包围着万物的，是尘、土与泥
还嘲笑着人类的昔日辉煌
那些损毁的、开裂的以及不再被需要的事物
都被碾碎、浸透和揉捏着
重新被塑造成真正被需要的事物
因此，所有新事物都由旧事物所构成
那古老的一切大多不再被提起
并在压力、炽热与严寒之下隐匿于无形
