There are dense felts,
blocking the prosperity and splendor in the daytime.
The silent riverside is covered with loneliness and darkness.
Only a line of half-dark lights on the city wall remained,
still flickering and trembling.
How weak they are!
But it is our only insight!
They help us understand nature;
Let us see a bright future.
They are good friends,
give us hope and comfort.
Bless you lights,
May you be eternal and infinite!
Street lights along the Beihe River
