Auspicious Crane-riding Immortal  

One Starry Christmas Eve

By William He

Infalling radiation is blueshifted by now.
In the dazzling nature dim,
Celestial black serpents writhe round and spit.
Flying wisps of clouds seem not to wilt.
The prophecy is delivering,
A wondrous star hanging on Bethlehem wall.
A host of angels appear in the air.
Chiming with silvery rhyme,
Heralding the Child-Christ born.
Hope and depression alternate in life of all,
Thinking of dawn and dusk clear,
The soul fights desperately to keep.

Pure devotion wrapped in the luminous flux,
The Xmas tree finding a home,
A way up high above the clouds.
Santa Claus is stable as his gifts.
White flakes around him whirl,
Tangible symbol of all the gods.
Bright echoed by Monocerotis,
He is riding to the Christian land in field of blue.
The sledges with the reindeers four-in-hand.
People's eyes flicker like broken lights,
Basking in the glory of the overwhelming might.


瑞鹤仙

圣诞夜的天空

作者：何威廉

引蓝移凤阙。
三垣间，
黑色天蟒挛屈。
烟云泽渚接。
应玄象，
伯利恒灯悬堞。
童贞秀澈。
降世尘、
泥槽石穴。
奈歧迷肆扰，
明暗星文，
梦魂芒惚。

湍濑涡流纹理，
冷杉青幻，
耸突超越。
白髯运斡。
杳冥察，
灵襟绝。
乍麒麟，
最大光环流照。
腾驾驯鹿彗孛。
对灯轮水月，
歌云墨晶采缬。

Notes:

“Blueshift”: A term that astronomers use to describe an object that is moving toward another object or toward us. Someone will say, "That galaxy is blueshifted with respect to the Milky Way", for example. It means that the galaxy is moving toward our point in space. It can also be used to describe the speed the galaxy is taking as it gets closer to ours.

“Black Serpent”: The Black Serpent was an incredibly powerful mabeast created by Daphne, the Witch of Gluttony, during the time when the Witch of Envy was free to wander the world. Alongside the White Whale and the Great Rabbit, the Serpent was considered one of the Three Great Mabeasts created by Daphne.

“Bethlehem”：A city in the central West Bank, Palestine, about 10 km south of Jerusalem. Its population is approximately 25,000, and it is the capital of the Bethlehem Governorate. Bethlehem is the birthplace of Savior Jesus Christ. Bethlehem, meaning "house of bread," was also the renowned City of David.

“Monocerotis”: V838 Monocerotis, a spectroscopic binary star system in the constellation Monoceros about 19,000 light years from the Sun. The previously unremarked star was observed in early 2002 experiencing a major outburst, and was possibly one of the largest known stars for a short period following the outburst.

“Reindeer”: The reindeer, also known as the caribou in North America, is a species of deer with circumpolar distribution, native to Arctic, subarctic, tundra, boreal, and mountainous regions of northern Europe, Siberia, and North America. This includes both sedentary and migratory populations. It is the only representative of the genus Rangifer.
