永恒的詩篇 Yesterday No More
_____________________________________________________________是夢境
是童話世界
還是世外桃園?
是水泊
是珊瑚島
還是海市蜃樓?
碧波粼粼
我仿佛看見
嬌媚的仙女
沐浴在
神秘的彩霞裏
大運河上
仿佛
時光不曾流逝;
馬可廣場之夜
燭焰
閃爍著遠古文明的餘輝
啊,你
義大利的明珠
不朽的城池
我願意
化作一葉水上輕騎
穿過廊橋
沿著縱錯的水道
追蹤
你那輝煌的歲月
璀璨的曆史
我要
再嚐一口
亞得裏亞海清涼的水
讓我的心底
永遠留著
美麗的名字──
旖旎的水城
威尼斯!

My Love, Venice
By Cao Yuan
Is this a dream
a fairy tale
a haven of peace?
Or is this a lake
a coral island
a mirage?
Somewhere among the clear ripples
I can see, as if
a fairy beauty
bathing, amidst the mists.
Centuries are gone
Yet Grand Canal
has seen, little changes.
As if, here
time never elapses.
And when darkness falls
the candles in St Marco’s Square
continue to flicker
a streak of, its yesteryears.
Oh, my lovely, Water Beauty
Pearl of Italy
A timeless City.
I wish I were a canoe
that cuts through water beneath the bridge
and sails through the channels
So that, I can trace
A glorious past journey
And a remarkable history.
I want to also
Taste the cool and fresh water
of the Adriatic Sea
So that I will forever
Hold deep in my heart
this charming water city ━
Venice.
