Northland Autumn

★ Northland Autumn ☆ Poetry and Translation by Luozhi Hai The sky was ashy and solemn Watched the purple-brown wild geese who in herringbone flying echelon Streamed slowly southward Failed to keep the flying geese Kept the quack of the geese sound constantly Like a barrage Bombarded reeds at depth Billowed up Circles of autumn shadow Filled with Thin pieces of coolness Autumn wind was skilfully playing Towering silver poplar The theme of autumn immediately Melodious filled For a long time ever Winter cicada with fear Hung its voice to sing out The last section Of dumb notes Closed in sensible Its veined wings And quietly secluded in The sparse leaves shadow of old Chinese scholar tree Open vast wilderness Sunset afterglow oblique And elongated my struggling silhouette My runaway thought flied with its hoofs intensely Climbed over thousands of miles of mountains as over a wall In a moment reached My hometown that I had dreamt day and night My tired heart ah Instantly melted in the thick of nostalgia 北京时间2014年12月26日19：20至21：10翻译 Beijing time 12/26/2014 19: 20 to 21: 10 PM translation ◆ Chinese Text ★ 北国秋韵 ☆ 罗志海 新诗 天空灰沉肃穆 目送紫褐色人字雁行 络绎缓缓向南 留不住的雁行 留住嘎嘎雁声不断 连珠炮似 轰击芦苇纵深处 潋滟起 圈圈秋影 洋溢着 丝丝凉意 秋风娴熟弹奏 兀立的银白杨 秋的主旋律旋即 悠扬缭绕 久久不息 寒蝉战战兢兢 吊嗓子唱出 最末一节 喑哑的音符 识趣地合上 叶脉状翅膀 悄悄蛰居 叶影稀疏的老槐树 原野空旷苍茫 夕阳的余晖斜斜 拉长我举步维艰的身影 脱缰的思绪撒蹄奋飞 千里山峦如逾墙垣 霎时间抵达 梦魂萦绕的故乡 我疲惫的心啊 顷刻消融在浓浓的乡情里 原载《世纪末的强音》（诗歌卷）（中国戏剧出版社1999年6月） 原载《海陆风》2002年第4期（汕尾市诗词学会会刊） 原载《汉英对照歌曲集第一辑》2003年1月
