Selected from Bing Xin's "Stars" poetry collection.
Original poem:
1. Stars (Seventy-one)
These things -
are memories that will never fade away
In the moonlit garden
Under the leaves of the wisteria
On mother's lap
2. Stars (one hundred and thirty-one )
The sea!
That star had no light
That flower had no fragrance
That time in my thoughts
There was no wave of yours Clear Sound
3. Stars (one hundred and fifty-nine)
Mother!
The storm in the sky is coming
The bird hides in his nest
The storm in the heart is coming
I only hide in my nest In Your Arms
