樹 說  

 

我在天宇下

站著

偷聽大地的奧秘

 

左耳

何時飛進一片鳥語

我聽到牠們爭辯著

一些私事

 

而右耳

卻遮著一碧晚霞

將夕陽溫柔的步音

置之度外

 

這時

晚風又來向我追問

幾時才將我身邊的

阿拉伯帷幕揭開?

 

好讓它穿過一千零一夜走來

走進我的心臟

聽我唱

一首歌

 

 

The Tree Says

 

I stand under the roofs

Of the sky

To overhear mystery of the Earth

 

When a piece of bird's chirps

Fly in my left ear

I hear they are arguing

Over some of private matters

 

And my right ear

Covered with the glow of a sunset cloud

Yet the tender footsteps of the declining sun

Not to care about

 

Now the night breeze comes again

asks me closely

When I reveal the Arabian curtian by my side?

 

Let her come through one thousand and one nights

Come into my heart

Hear me

Sing a song
