致银杏

穿越千年的沧桑

却丝毫没有衰老的迹象

虬枝 苍茫 耸入云端

树干 挺拔 奕奕闪亮

青春依然勃发

生命力依然兴旺

风雨雷电 雾雪风霜

你岿然屹立在巍峨的山冈

像活化石 展示生命的华章

流岚虹霓陪伴着你

坚守 一个古老的诺言

坚守 一个千年的希望

你不止给人类 送来

绿荫和清凉

蝴蝶般的叶片

似在飞翔 似在歌唱

秋风中像明快的花朵

把天边和大地铺满金黄

还把饱满的果实 献上

富含营养

甜似怡口的蜜糖

既然热爱这块土地 就

忠贞不渝 爱到地老天荒

即使倒下

也化为泥土

去催生新的希望

To the Ginkgo Biloba

After the vicissitudes of one thousand years around,

But you have no signs of aging,

Your branches are vigorously soaring,

Your trunk is still straight and shinning above ground.

Your youth span is so long in virility,

Your life is of thriving vitality.

Experiencing the storms, fogs, snows and lightning,

You stand on the high hill like a tower,

As if a living fossil displays the life’s brilliant chapter,

Haze and rainbow accompany you in existing,

You hold an ancient oath,

Stick to the thousand years’ faith.

You not only bring to human being,

The cool, the refresh and the green shade,

Your leaves like the butterflies in shape,

Are rustling, as if flying and singing,

In the autumn wind like bright flowers in celebrating,

Cover the sky and ground with golden cute color,

You also present the fruitnuts of the plumper,

Which are rich in nutrition and in tasting,

Sweet into the people’s heart in delighting!

Since you love the land,

You keep your love for everlasting,

Even if one day you are falling,

You will become the humus-rich soil and tiny sand,

Giving birth to a new hope.
