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