【七律】平安夜

【七律】平安夜

（依中華通韻）

 

聖誕前夕思聖誕，平安夜裏禱平安。

東方智者何方去，舊日基督哪日還。

才喜聖嬰新雪霽，初生帝子馬槽寒。

巨星照耀荒蕪地，為救蒼生苦旅間。

 

Christmas Eve

 

In the dark a spirit in high flight.

Move about a globe beaten down hard.

Race, race toward the end of the night.

 

A Hallmark card lays in plain sight.

Make me forget all the cards I have been dealt.

At the end of the tunnel there is light.

 

The Sun will break dawn, make the day bright.

Go gentle into a good Christmas.

Race, race toward the end of the night.

 

The last fly by, the time is right.

A kind man serves all mankind.

Burn all the snow to give him a moonlight.

 

Who are you watching on the divine height?

Save the snow dust for a day.

Go gentle into a Christmas that's white.

Race, race toward the end of the night.
