我爱这土地

艾　青

                                                                                 假如我是一只鸟，

                                                                                 我也应该用嘶哑的喉咙歌唱：

                                                                                 这被暴风雨所打击着的土地，

                                                                                 这永远汹涌着我们的悲愤的河流，

                                                                                 这无止息地吹刮着的激怒的风，

                                                                                 和那来自林间的无比温柔的黎明……

                                                                                  ——然后我死了，

                                                                                  连羽毛也腐烂在土地里面。

                                                                                  为什么我的眼里常含泪水？

                                                                                   因为我对这土地爱得深沉……
