许其正：牧羊老人牧着

牧羊老人牧着

成群绵羊

在穹苍的青青草原上

任岁月在旁边过去

绵羊全身白色，羊毛

卷卷地，白如雪片

　　　柔如丝绸

　　　轻如白羽

它们吃草，嬉游，静卧

时而聚，时而散

时而散，时而聚

还不时咩咩地叫

随着岁的过去

绵羊越来越多

竟至爬到牧羊老人的头上

越来越多越白……

Old Shepherd　Hsu ChiCheng

In the green, vast grassland of the sky

The old shepherd tends

A flock of sheep

Time passes by his side

Sheep are white all over

Their crinkled wool is as white as snowflakes

As soft as silk

As light as feather

They eat grass, play or lie quietly

Sometimes gathering

Sometimes dispersing

And baaing from time to time

As time goes by

More and more sheep go so far

As to climb onto the old shepherd’s head

Which looks whiter and whiter…@
