牧羊老人牧著
成群綿羊
在穹蒼的青青草原上
任歲月在旁邊過去
綿羊全身白色,羊毛
卷卷地,白如雪片
柔如絲綢
輕如白羽
牠們吃草,嬉遊,靜臥
時而聚,時而散
時而散,時而聚
還不時咩咩地叫
隨著歲的過去
綿羊越來越多
竟至爬到牧羊老人的頭上
越來越多越白……
Old Shepherd Hsu ChiCheng
In the green, vast grassland of the sky
The old shepherd tends
A flock of sheep
Time passes by his side
Sheep are white all over
Their crinkled wool is as white as snowflakes
As soft as silk
As light as feather
They eat grass, play or lie quietly
Sometimes gathering
Sometimes dispersing
And baaing from time to time
As time goes by
More and more sheep go so far
As to climb onto the old shepherd’s head
Which looks whiter and whiter…@
