| 原 文 歌 詞 | The animals,
The winged and swimming creatures,
Rose in there agony, confronted man.
Dolphins, butchered on beaches,
Sea tears brimming startled eyes,
Observed an arc of knives
Obscure the sun.
Ducks and long-limbed herons
Raised their jeweled wings,
Their bright and patterned necks,
And sank, oil-girdled
In the black and tarnished sea.
The humpback whales,
The orcas wrote Cetacean history.
Their underwater songs rang plunder.
The scraped dead space behind the factory ships;
Their underwater songs sang of mysteries
Greater than man, greater than whales:
The blue eye of God in the water.
