Night


Night

By Ou, Wen Wei

Night,
Misty night, dark night, fathomless night!
You are full of mysterious charms,
Always leading everything into tranquility.
You secretly turn brightness into darkness,
Then quietly transform it into dawn!
You have a special adjusting ability
To bring moments of peace to this restless and vexing world.
Ah–
You put billions of creatures into sound sleep,
Letting them wake with more vigor!
So many fatigued hearts and souls receive comfort,
So many exhausted lives get adjusted!

Night,
Dark night, tranquil night, passionate night!
When facing a covetous and noisy world,
when facing all kinds of blame and infamy,
You are always as poised as usual, keeping your silence.
Ah—
Night, your calmness and tolerance evoke feelings of profound respect!
Night,
Still night, mystical night!

When the veil of night falls,
It always remedies daytime regrets!
You give depth to humans’ shallow eyesight—
letting us see that beyond the blue sky are countless stars!
Oh!
Mysterious night, wonderful night!
Thank you, thank you for your persistence in giving for free
and for all your hard work—silently, no one noticing!
Your ordinary commonplace yet profound, persistent, broad revelations
Help me realize how to learn about the world and conduct my life!
Night,
Misty night, dark night, passionate night, lovely night!
