日出日落Sunrise and Sunset：李魁賢漢英雙語詩集

【淡水是我，我是詩】
 
如果人民沒機會讀詩
我們把詩送到人民面前
如今你可以在進出淡水捷運站時
看到詩貼在牆上對你眨眼
如今你可以在倉庫改建的展覽場
看到詩在窗口反光在地上閃亮
如今你甚至從洗手間解放出來後
可以在詩的面前洗滌一下心靈
如今你可以在廢用的公共電話機旁
讀到詩以遙遠的聲音呼喚你
將來你可以在便利商店買飲料時
詩讓你在透心涼中感到暖和
將來你可以在餐廳點餐時
在餐桌墊紙上讀到難忘的開胃詩
將來你可以在鮮麗慶典式街旗
見識到詩迎風招展你的笑容
將來你可以在舊街購買美食後
把淡水美的詩帶回家咀嚼無窮餘味
我們把詩送到人民面前
人民隨時有機會讀詩
讓淡水真正成為詩的故鄉
因為淡水是我，我是詩

【Tamsui is me, yet I am poetry】
 
If the people have no time to read poetry
we present the poetry in front of the people.
Now, you can see the poetry posted on the wall blinking at you
when get in and out of the Tamshui MRT station.
Now, you can see the poetry reflected on the ground through windows
when enter the exhibition hall rebuilt from the warehouse.
Now, you can refine your mind in front of the poetry
when drain yourself and liberate out of toilet.
Now, you can hear poetry calling from afar
when stand by the disabled public telephone booth.
In future, you can feel warm refreshed by poetry
when buy a drink at any convenience store.
