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‧
