Christian Town
Christian Town
Mecca of Christianity,
In a reclusive Amish village,
Keep the Bible commandments,
Practice Christian faith,
A simple,sincere,and godly life.
Flat lands,stunned houses,
Still embrace days of oil lamps,
Man’s wide-brimmed straw hat,sling trousers,
Woman wearing monochromatic long skirt ,
And a scarf with hooded white cap.
Dotted by high barns in farm fields,
Chicken call echoed to dog bark,
Horse-drawn plows,
Black carriages come to greet …
With rhythmic hoofed sound.
Now,I recite and admire–
Long,long,long time age,
A Chinese ode “Song of the Land”;
Work at sunrise,
Rest at sundown.
Dig wells for drink,
Cultivate crops for food.
What does Emperor's power matter to me?
This harmonious,self-sufficient Utopia, in–
Lancaster,Pennsylvania‧
