纸船
我每天把纸船一个个放在急流的溪中。
我用大黑字写我的名字和我住的村名在纸船上。
我希望住在异地的人会得到这纸船，知道我是谁。
我把园中长的秀利花载在我的小船上，希望这些黎明开的花能在夜里被平平安安地带到岸上。
我投我的纸船到水里，仰望天空，看见小朵的云正张着满鼓着风的白帆。
我不知道天上有我的什么游伴把这些船放下来同我的船比赛！
夜来了，我的脸埋在手臂里，梦见我的纸船在子夜的星光下缓缓地浮泛前去。
睡仙坐在船里，带着满载着梦的篮子。
PAPER BOATS
DAY by day Ifloat my paper boats one by one down the runningstream.
In big black letters Iwrite my name on them and the name ofthe village where Ilive.
I hope that someone in some strange land will find them andknow who Iam.
I load my little boats with shiuli flowers from our garden,andhope that these blooms of the dawn will be carried safely to landin the night.
I launch my paper boats andlook up into the sky and see thelittle clouds setting their whitebulging sails.
I know not what playmateof mine in the sky sends themdown the air to race with myboats!
When night comes Iburymy face in my arms and dreamthat my paper boats float onand on under the midnightstars.
The fairies of sleep are sailingin them,and the lading is theirbaskets full of dreams.
