Let him be safe in sleep

As leaves folded together

As young birds under wings

As the unopened flower.

Let him be hidden in sleep

As island under rain

As mountain within their clouds

As hills in the mantle of dusk

Let him be free in sleep

As hills in the mantle of dusk

Let him be free in sleep

As the flowing tides of the sea

As the travelling wind on the moor

As the journey stars in space

Let him be upheld in sleep

As a cloud at rest on the air

As sea wrack under the waves

When the flowing tide covers all

And the shells’ delicate lives open on the seafloor

Let him be healed in sleep

In the quite waters of night

In the mirroring pool of dreams

Where the troubled spirit grows wise

And the heart is comforted

 

讓他安穩地睡吧

如同葉片般層疊在一起

如同在羽翼下的稚鳥

如同含苞待放的花朵

讓他藏身睡眠中

如同在雨中的小島

如同藏身雲裡的山巒

如同在薄霧覆蓋下的山丘

讓他自由自在地睡吧

如同海上潮汐

如同在荒野上旅行的風

如同在太空中遨遊的星星

讓他在睡眠中被高高托舉著

如同在空氣中休憩的雲

如同在浪中浮載的海藻

當流動的潮汐席捲了所有

貝殼那嬌弱的聲音在海底舒展開來

讓他在睡眠中得到治癒

在夜裡寧靜無聲的水中

在夢裡那片如鏡般清澈的池裡

回憶平靜地浮上心頭

不安的心靈漸長智慧

內心也得撫慰
