Translation (meaning) of 孟郊(mengjiao)-游子吟(you zi yin)
A Traveller’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?
