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…@
