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，()
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.
