掌燭登山　林鈺堂

十方漆黑一點明，
縷縷寒風步步營。
登高但願光傳遠，
環環山徑蹀蹀行。

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　一九九八年七月一日　　
　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　養和齋　　　於加州

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.
