吉日
When you come to the end of a perfect day,
And you sit alone with your thought,
While the chimes ring out with a carol gay
For the joy that the day has brought,
Do you think what the end of a perfect day
Can mean to a tired heart,
When the sun goes down with a flaming ray,
And the dear friends have to part?
Well, this is the end of a perfect day,
Near the end of a journey, too;
But it leaves a thought that is big and strong,
With a wish that is kind and true.
For memory has painted this perfect day
With colors that never fade,
And we find at the end of a perfect day
The soul of a friend we've made.
吉日离难晨
孤坐抱膝吟
但问黄吕声
不见喜登门
问君作何意
为底倍伤神
日落云骤起
良朋自此分
云游行将尽
良辰业已昏
徒留游园梦
空余真善痕
随忆绘美景
丹青永不侵
夜深知露重
知己究难寻
