土地

大地

                                                                                           亿万年的静止，此刻在眼里

                                                                                           连绵起伏，波涛汹涌

                                                                                           祖辈们和树木花草

                                                                                           一起扎根

                                                                                           草木春茂冬枯

                                                                                           人在一代接一代

                                                                                           繁衍

                                                                                           父母，是一段

                                                                                           枯老的树干

                                                                                           我就是那横出的新枝

                                                                                           站在父母的肩上

                                                                                           以向上的姿势飞翔

                                                                                           风，从远古吹来

                                                                                           我用嫩叶为帆远航

                                                                                           漂得再远，根都在父母身上

                                                                                           土地的深处

【甲】树

艾青

一棵树，一棵树

彼此孤离地兀立着风与空气

告诉着它们的距离

但是在泥土的覆盖下它们的根伸长着

在看不见的深处

它们的根须纠缠在一起

（选自《旷野》1940年）

【乙】

夏天的飞鸟，飞到我的窗前唱歌，又飞去了。

秋天的黄叶，他们没有什么可唱的，只是叹息一声，飞落在那里。

（选自泰戈尔《飞鸟集》）
