游子吟 – 孟郊
Song of the Wanderer by Meng Jiao

慈母手中线, Loving mother, in her hands she sews
游子身上衣。 The clothes that her traveling son will wear.
临行密密缝, Before he leaves, she stitches tightly and securely
意恐迟迟归。 Afraid that he will not return for a very long time.
谁言寸草心, Who can say that her caring and nurturing heart
报得三春晖。 Can be recompensed and honored enough?
