余光中：乡愁

　　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，(www.90yd.cn)

　　乡愁是一湾浅浅的海峡，

　　我在这头，大陆在那头。

　　英文译文:

　　When I was young,

　　my homesickness was a small stamp,

　　I was here,

　　my mother was there.

　　After growing up,

　　my homesickness was a narrow ticket,

　　I was here,

　　my bride was there.

　　Later,

　　my homesickness was a little tomb,

　　I was outside,

　　my mother was inside.

　　And now,

　　my homesickness is a shallow strait,

　　I am here,

　　the mainland is there.
