胡杨礼赞

作者：秋實

在那遥远的大西北，

在那荒凉的戈壁滩上。

挺立着一种生命的化石，

它，便是大漠胡杨。

胡，是古时的胡疆，

万里流沙接天苍；

杨，是柳家的儿郎，

把胡桐旧名改为胡杨。

它是沙漠的精灵，

烈日下低吟着古老的乐章。

它是戈壁的希望，

把咆哮的风沙炼成金黄。

它能活一千年不死，

根须攥紧大地母亲的胸膛。

它能立一千年不倒，

用铁骨擎起酷暑与冰霜。

它能伏一千年不朽，

把嶙峋的身姿雕刻进时光。

当驼铃叮咚摇碎晚霞，

它用树枝接住旅人的惆怅。

当狼烟卷起黑夜的幕纱，

它以裂开的躯干，

为离群的驼儿点燃星光。

我登上沙山眺望，

像离家的孩儿扑向故乡。

滚烫的泪砸进滚烫的沙，

倾诉着久别重逢的衷肠。

我紧倚在它的胸膛，

嗅到带着泥土的芬芳；

只听见树叶的沙沙声，

伴着褪色的经幡，

一起随风哗啦啦作响。

我默默地合起双掌，

祝愿它如意，祝愿它吉祥。

更祝愿我辈炎黄子孙，

也能活成它这般模样。

假如有一天，

我们也被岁月风干，

请把我们的骨骼，

架成通往绿洲的桥梁。

像它一样千年耸立，

站成悲壮的宣言，

站成沉默的信仰。

站成大漠中央

永不下跪的

东方巨人的绝唱。



Ode to the Desert Poplar

By Qiu Shi

In the far northwest,

On the lonely desert land,

Stands a living fossil of life-

The desert poplar, strong and grand.

"Hu" was the ancient land in west,

Where yellow sands meet the sky so vast;

"Yang" of the willow family line,

Once called Hu Tong, now named Huyang at last.

It's the spirit of desert，

Singing old songs under the burning sun;

It's the hope of desert,

Turning wild sands to shining gold.

It lives a thousand years, never dies，

Its roots hold the earth so tight;

It stands a thousand years, never falls,

Bearing heat and cold with all its might.

It lies a thousand years, never rots,

Its rough shape carved into time's light.

When camel bells ring in the sunset，

Its branches catch travelers' sighs;

When dark night comes with rising dust,

Its craked trunk makes starlight

For lost camels under the skies.

I climb the sand hill, looking far,

Like a child running to mother's arms.

Hot tears fall on the burning sand,

Telling the joy that makes my heart warm.

I lean close to its ancient trunk,

Smelling the soil's nice scent;

Hearing the leaves whisper softly，

With prayer banners together bent.

I put my hands together,

soft and low,

Wishing it well,

wishing it grace.

And praying we,

children of this land,

Could learn to live in its strong ways.

If one day,

Time dries us up like sand,

Let our bones become a bridge，

To where green oasis stands.

Like it, standing tall through years,

A solemn statement, strong and true,

A silent faith that knows no fears,

Standing in the desert's heart-

The unyielding song

Of the Eastern giant，

Who never kneels down，

Never yields.
