在基隆容軒步道
清晨踏上石階
期待更上一層的風景
眾多鬍鬚垂地的
大榕樹葉叢內
群鳥合唱曲開始交響
雜草野花沿途向我招手
抬頭看到白雲在微笑
經過風風雨雨的洗禮
在心靈裡化成詩意
石階曲曲折折
總是一路引導我向上
直到嶺頂觀景平台
眺望壯闊的海洋
展現奔騰的氣魄
洶湧海流對付遠方挑戰
默默獨立在嶺頂
感受台灣島嶼祖國
無愧孤守在天地之間
Climbing up the hilltop in Keelung
Along Rongxuan Trail in Keelung
I walk on the stone steps in early morning
expecting to find better scenery at higher level.
Among the dense leaves of a big banyan
with fibrous roots growing down to reach the earth
the chorus of birds begins to sing in a symphony.
The weeds and wildflowers beckon me along the path.
I look up and find the white clouds in smiling
to inspire me a poetic feeling in my mind
after the baptism with long windy rainy days.
The stone steps in meandering
lead me going up and up
until the viewing platform on the hilltop.
Overlooking the magnificent ocean
which displays the strong spirit of surfing waves
and the turbulent currents against the distant challenges
I stand independently in silence at the hilltop
and feel wholeheartedly my homeland of Taiwan island
staying alone between heaven and earth proudly.
