【原文】

　　游子吟 / 迎母漂上作

　　作者：孟郊

　　慈母手中線，游子身上衣。

　　臨行密密縫，意恐遲遲歸。

　　誰言寸草心，報得三春暉。

　　【英文版】

　　A TRAVELER'S SONG

　　The thread in the hands of a fond-hearted mother

　　Makes clothes for the body of her wayward boy;

　　Carefully she sews and thoroughly she mends,

　　Dreading the delays that will keep him late from home.

　　But how much love has the inch-long grass

　　For three spring months of the light of the sun?
