Odes to Mother 作者：許其正 时间：2005-10-15 周六, 上午7:33 Odes to Mother 1 The dawning light has still not driven darkness into the corner of the wall But she has already got up And stepped into the kitchen Red flames are shining her face red The choking smoke has made her tearful But she has no complaint Her delicate hands can make Every tasteful flavor And every sweet life 2 The bleaching power of time Is doing its work on her head Dyeing her hair snow-white The knife of hard work Is carving her face Into many wrinkles How brilliant are her white hair and wrinkles In which hidden are love and beauty And the children’s respect and gratitude for her 3 There are two hands in my heart Which are the most beautiful in the world Though coarse and wrinkled Those are the hands doing the housework Those are the hands waving the cradle Those hands, of course, were once smooth and delicate Though coarse and wrinkled Those are the most beautiful hands in the world Because they are Mother’s hands 来源：http://www.australianwinner.com/AuWinner/viewtopic.php?t=2042 |
