A bed, I see a silver light,
I wonder if it‘s a frost ground.
Looking up, I find the moon bright;
Bowing, in homesickness I'm drowned
静夜思
床前明月光,疑是地上霜。
举头望明月,低头思故乡。
--Li Bai

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 is going to buy you another today.
Nursery rhyme(童谣)
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 a 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.
List poem
(清单诗)
Our first football match
We would have won…
if Jack had just 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 taken it easy,
if we hadn’t run out of energy,
We would have won…
if we’ve been better!

相传远古时代,这里是滔滔江河,有一少妇,因丈夫下河打鱼,久而不返,遂登山望夫,感而成石。
望夫石
王健
望夫处,江悠悠。
化为石,不回头。
山头日日风复雨,
行人归来石应语。
Where she awaits her husband,
On and on the river flows
Never looking back
Transformed into stone.
Day by day upon the mountain top,
wind and rain revolve.
Should the traveller return,
this stone would utter speech.
(by Wang Jian)
