“甘願燒忒,較贏歿忒”

Hi, 朱真一博士 :

爾實在有慶
關心台灣毋輸人
文章流利學問深

昨暗晡電視
看著鄭智仁彈唱 (醫師,父子作曲)
最後的住家精彩

鄭醫師有講
馬偕詩林鴻信譯  ()
打幫朱博士考證  (提供)

電視肚聽著
熟事鄉親个好話
心中歡喜又懷念

馬偕愛台灣
詩肚字字有感情
造福台灣三十年  (1844-1901) 後生時來台,享年57歲。

馬偕个名言
甘願燒忒,較贏歿忒
Burn out rather than rust out!

George Leslie Mackay’s poem on his life in Formosa:

For Formosa is dear to my heart.
On that island the best of my years have been spent.
There the interest of my life has been centered.
I have to look up its lofty peaks,
down into its yawning chasms,
and away out on its surging sea……
And when my day of service is over
I should like to find a resting place within sound of its surf,
and under the shade of its waving bamboo.

天佑台灣!
All the best to you all,
CS Lou
