游子吟
孟郊
慈母手中线，游子身上衣。
临行密密缝，意恐迟迟归。
谁言寸草心，报得三春晖。
Ballad of A Traveling Son
by Meng Jiao (751-814 AD)
Threads and needles in a loving mother's hands,
The clothes on the body of a traveling son.
She sewed and sewed on the eve of his departure,
For fear of his return being late.
Who said a little inch tall grass,
Can ever reciprocate the three months of sunshine in the spring.
