掌烛登山　林钰堂

十方漆黑一点明，
缕缕寒风步步营。
登高但愿光传远，
环环山径蹀蹀行。

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　一九九八年七月一日　　
　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　养和斋　　　于加州

Guarding a Candle Light up a Mountain　Yutang Lin

Pitch dark all over yet one point of light is shining;
Cold breeze keeps blowing, step by step needs guarding.
Climbing high just to let the light shine far and wide;
Walking slowly on the mountain route that is winding.
