The ivory gods,
And the ebony gods,
And the gods of diamond and jade,
Sit silently on their temple shelves
While the people
Are afraid.
Yet the ivory gods,
And the ebony gods,
And the gods of diamond-jade,
Are only silly puppet gods
That the people themselves
Have made.

JUMALAT

Jumalat norsunluusta
ja jumalat eebenpuusta
ja jumalat timanteista ja jadesta
istuvat ääneti temppelin hyllyillään,
kun samaan aikaan ihmiset
ovat peloissaan,
vaikka jumalat norsunluusta
ja jumalat ebenpuusta
ja jumalat timanteista ja jadesta
ovat vain typeriä nukkejumalia,
ihmisten kätten töitä
ainoastaan.
