How rich the penniless moonlight

清貧的月光多麼慷慨

spills over the courtyard

灑滿光輝的庭院裏

where a child grows unseen.

孩子靜靜成長

Grandma still alive, swallows’ beaks

外婆活著，燕子啣泥

bearing earth to nests.

記憶的螢火熠熠閃爍

Memory lights its fireflies.

我掉落的第一顆牙齒

My first lost tooth

硌痛歲月的青苔

chaws the mossy past.

哦，童真的庭院在時光中鮮活

Time revives this courtyard,

狗輕吠，水井照看星星

the dog’s yip soft, the well cradling its stars.

葡萄藤歡樂的觸須

Tendrils of these grapevines

伸進夢境……

twine their joy in dreams.
