Song of the Traveling Child


Thread in the hand of the loving mother
[Becomes] clothes on the body of the traveling child
Just before the time of departure, [she] carefully weaved [it]
[While] fearing that it will be a very long time before [her child] comes home
Who says the heart of the little grass
Can repay the deed of the springtime sun?



Notes:

* I believe this is originally a classic poem that was made into a folk/children song.
