在舊居屋後不遠處那片牧場裡
在記憶深處那片童年廣場裡
那座塔堅強挺立著
昂頭，硬頸，煥發不屈……以至而今
曾經，許多牛隻在它近旁吃草，翻水，鬥角，玩青春的遊戲
曾經，許多不同年齡、不同性別的牧人在它近旁烙下腳印，飄飛歡聲、笑語、歌唱
曾經，在它近旁，隨著春夏秋冬的輪轉而草榮草枯，蟲生蟲滅
曾經，群鳥在它的頭頂築巢，棲居，鳴唱，嬉戲，結婚，生子
曾經，不少熱戀中人把愛的山盟海誓鐫刻它的水泥支柱上
曾經，它經年累月和我的思緒糾纏又糾纏，甚至讓我攜帶著遊走四方
曾經呀曾經……
歲月的鐵錘不住猛敲猛打
風雨的劍戢不住猛砍猛刺
那片牧場已經滄海桑田變為蔗園
那片童年牧場已經不再童年
許多事物都被歷史的洪流淹沒，推倒，改寫
它還能挺立多久呢？
儘管昂頭硬頸吧！
唉，逃不過的
我隱約看見它駝著背的龍鍾老態、點點老人斑、深深皺紋和灰白鬢髮
甚至隱約聽見它的聲聲咳嗽，憂鬱嘆息
想必是黃昏和寒冬正冉冉披掛在它的身上吧！
只能以煥發不屈來代替青春勃發，意氣昂揚了
That pagoda Hsu ChiCheng
On that piece of the pasture no far near my old abode
On my childhood square deep in my memory
That pagoda stands straighten up
Lifts up the head, stubbornness, shines not to surrender to…till now
Once, there were cattle take grass, bathing, fight with horn, play youth game near it
Once, there were many herdsmen with different age and sex prints footprints, fly song, joyful words, and sing song near it
Once, there were grasses flourish and wither, insect born and become extinct follow the turning of the season near it
Once, there were birds nest, perch, sing, play, merry and give birth to baby bird near it
Once, there were bustle lovers sculpt on the cement post their pledge of faithfulness and love
Once, it was tangle and tangle with my mind whole the years, even let me carry it to tour everywhere of the world
Oh once and once…
The iron hammer of the year knocks and beats ceaselessly fiercely
The wind storm of the sword and halberd chop and sting ceaselessly fiercely
That piece of pasture had turned entire into a sugarcane field
That pasture of my childhood had not been childhood still
Many things are submerged, pushed over and rewrote by the flood of history
How long can it stands straighten up?
Feel free to lifts up the head, stubbornness!
It can’t flee
I see indistinctly it bear the senile, dot and dot of old age speckle, deep wrinkle and white hair on the back
Even hear indistinctly its coughs, melancholy and sigh
It must be hang the dusk and chill winter on its body slowly!
Only can shines not to surrender to take the place of lift up the head, stubbornness@
