呼喚

饒孟侃

有一次我在白楊林中，

聽到親切的一呼喚；

那時月光正望著翁仲，

翁仲正望著我看。

再聽不到呼喚的聲音，

我吃了一驚, 四面尋找；

翁仲只是對月光出神，

月光只對我冷笑。

The Call

By Mengkan Rao

Once, I am in poplar woods,

Hearing a cordial call.

Then, moonlight watching stone statues*

Stone statues* watching me.

When no longer hearing sound of the call,

Surprised, I look around.

Stone statues at a loss in moonlight.

Moonlight only sneers at me.

*People in old China were used to setting up stone statues in two lines before the tomb.
