帕布莉卡游子吟
[唐]孟郊
慈母手中线，
游子身上衣。
临行密密缝，
意恐[1]迟迟归。
谁言寸草[2]心，
报得三春晖[3]。
注释：
[1]意恐：心里担心。
[2]寸草：小草。此处指儿女。
[3]晖：温暖灿烂的阳光。
Song of the Parting Son
Meng Jiao
From the threads a mother’s hand weaves
A gown for parting son is made,
Sewn stitch by stitch before he leaves
For fear his return be delayed,
Such kindness as young grass receives
From the warm sun can be repaid?
