光的手指
轻轻叩击着小城
“我是美好的,不能停留
那么让我进入吧。”
“你很快就进来了。”小城回答,
“我的脸正在沉睡--
但发誓,我要让你过去,
你不要吵醒他们。”
安心的客人同意了
可是一旦进入小镇
他的面容容光焕发
唤醒了少女和少男
池塘里的邻居
在他的屁股上欢跃
发出大声的敬意,蠓虫
为光举杯庆贺。
The Fingers of the Light
Tapped soft upon the Town
With "I am great and cannot wait
So therefore let me in."
"You're soon," the Town replied,
"My Faces are asleep --
But swear, and I will let you by,
You will not wake them up."
The easy Guest complied
But once within the Town
The transport of His Countenance
Awakened Maid and Man
The Neighbor in the Pool
Upon His Hip elate
Made loud obeisance and the Gnat
Held up His Cup for Light.
