乡愁（余光中）

Nostalgia 乡愁 When I was a child,   小时候 Nostalgia seemed a small stamp:  乡愁是一枚小小的邮票 "Here am I  我在这头 and there my mother."     母亲在那头   Then I was a grown-up,   长大后 Nostalgia became a traveling ticket:  乡愁是一张窄窄的船票 "Here am I   我在这头 and there my bride."    新娘在那头   During the later years   后来啊 Nostalgia turned to be a graveyard:  乡愁是一方矮矮的坟墓 "Here am I   我在外头 And yonder my mother."  母亲在里头     And now at present  而现在  Nostalgia looms large to be a channel:  乡愁是一湾浅浅的海峡 "Here am I   我在这头 and yonder my Continent!" 大陆在那头
