By Beauty

 

It's a small world I live in...

The miles I travel are few,

With always familiar faces

And a sameness each day in my view.

 

I know each highway and byway

And every valley and hill,

The landmarks that down through the ages

Are standing staunch and still.

 

And every tree has its place,

And I know each country lane,

Where each mailbox on the corner

Bears a familiar name.

 

Yes, it's a small would I live in ,

But my vision reaches the sky,

And in fancy I've seen distant places

That seem real as time passes by.

 

Yes, mine is a simple and beautiful would,

And mine is a lucky star,

And I am contented and happy to live

In my would with things as they are.

滿足

By Beauty

 

我住在一個小小世界裏

我遊歷過的路程很短,

每天我見到的總是

熟悉的面孔和同樣的事物.

 

我熟悉每一條大道和路旁

每一個山谷和崗巒,

經過多少歲月的印記

仍舊靜靜的屹立著.

 

 

每棵樹有著自己的定位,

我通曉村中每一條小徑,

路拐角上的郵筒

上面寫著熟悉的名稱.

 

 

是的,我住在一個小世界,

但我的幻想遠於天際,

在想像中我見到了遙遠的地方

縱使時間經過許久,他仍然是很真切.

 

是的,我的世界是一個純樸而美麗的小世界,

福星照著我的世界

我照事物本來的樣子

滿足而快樂地活在我的世界.
