The late year lies down the north. All is healed, All is health. High summer holds the earth. Hearts All whole. Sure on this shining night I weep for wonder Wandering far alone of shadows on the Stars. 在這星影環繞 閃亮的夜晚， 仁慈必看顧我 在地球的這一端。 北國的歲暮， 萬物皆復甦。 盛夏臨據大地， 我重拾完整的心。 在這閃亮夜晚， 我為奇蹟落淚 獨自漫步 在星影下。 Style.display='';$(this).getParent().Style.display='none';">less
