LESSON 13 IF I WERE A SUNBEAM 如果我是陽光

1.“If I were a sunbeam,

I know what I’d do;

I would seek white lilies,

Roaming woodlands through.

I would steal among them,

Softest light I’d shed,

Until every lily

Raised its drooping head.”

2.“If I were a sunbeam,

I know where I’d go; Into lowly hovels,

Dark with want and woe: Till sad hearts looked upward,

I would shine and shine; Then they’d think of heaven,

Their sweet home and mine.”

3.Are you not a sunbeam,

Child, whose life is glad

With an inner brightness

Sunshine never had?

Oh, as God has blessed you,

Scatter light divine!

For there is no sunbeam

But must die or shine.

1.如果我是陽光，

我知道該做什么；

我會在林中漫步，

尋找白色百合。

我會偷偷藏身其中，

將柔和的光灑滿它們身上，

直到朵朵百合，

長出花蕾開放。

2.如果我是陽光，

我知道該去哪里；

我會走進充滿黑暗、貧窮、悲哀的小屋，

我會不停地發光發亮，

直到悲傷的心充滿希望；

他們會想到天堂，

他們和我甜美的家。

3.幸福美滿的孩子，

難道你不是陽光？

內心如果充滿光明，

會沒有陽光嗎？

啊，正如上帝已經賜福給你，

你也去釋放神圣之光吧！

如果沒有陽光的地方，

要么死亡，要么去發光。
