Excerpted from A.T. Murray (Homer, Iliad, with English translation. )
And the original Greek, but I can't read Greek?
I can send it to you if necessary.
Another translated version:
Like leaves from generation to generation, mortal life. Now, the wind scatters old leaves all over the earth. Now, new trees are sprouting, and spring is coming again. The same is true of human beings: one generation is born and another generation dies.
