Hush, little baby, don’t say a word,
Papa’s going to buy you a mockingbird.
If that mockingbird won’t sing,
Papa’s going to buy you a diamond ring.
If that diamond ring turns to brass,
Papa’s going to buy you a looking-glass.
If that looking-glass gets broke,
Papa’s going to buy you a billy-goat.
If that billy-goat runs away,
Papa’s going to buy you another today.

Poem A
We would have won …
If Jack had scored that goal,
If we’d had just a few more minutes,
If we had trained harder,
If Ben had passed the ball to Joe,
If we’d had thousands of fans screaming,
If I hadn’t taken my eye off the ball,
If we hadn’t stayed up so late the night before,
If we hadn’t take it easy,
If we hadn’t run out of energy.
We would have won…
If we’d been better!

Coming Home by He Zhizhan
回乡偶书 贺知章
I left home young and not till old do I come back, My accent is unchanged, my hair no longer black. The children don’t know me, whom I meet on the way, "Where do you come from, reverend sir?"
they smile and say.
小少离家老大回, 乡音无改鬓毛摧。 儿童相见不相识, 笑问客从何处来?

How long will the bright moon appear? Wine-cup in hand, I ask the sky.
I do not know what time of year, It would be tonight in the palace on high.

明月几时有?把酒问青天 不知天上宫阙,今夕是何年?
——— 苏轼
Translated by Xu Yuanchong
Poem2:
Very quietly I take my leave As quietly as I came here; Quietly I wave good-bye To the rosy clouds in the western sky.
轻轻的我走了,正如我轻轻的来; 我轻轻的招手, 作别西天的云彩。

Should you kill me with anger hot?”

Everywhere round me the singing of birds
But now I remember the night, the storm,
And I wonder how many blossoms were broken.

I saw a fish-pond all on fire
I saw a fish-pond all on fire
I saw a house bow to a squire,
I saw a person twelve-feet high,
I saw a cottage in the sky,
I saw a balloon made of lead,
I saw coffin drop down dead,
I saw two sparrows run a race,
I saw two horses making lace,
I saw a girl just like a cat,
I saw a kitten wear a hat,
I saw a man who saw these too,
And said though strange they all were true.

Some laugh while some cry
Some give up while some always try
Some say hi while some say bye
Others may forget you but never I.
