《遊子吟》孟郊
慈母手中線，遊子身上衣。
臨行密密縫，意恐遲遲歸。
誰言寸草心，報得三春暉。
Chant by A Wayfaring Son
by Meng Jiao (Tang Dynasty)
With threads, a tender mother sews
A coat for her wayfaring son,
Stitch after stitch ere far he goes,
Lest he home in a weary run.
Who says the heart of young grass knows
Enow thanks to the full spring sun?
