On Thinking of Children
Eating melons,
I remember my children.
Eating chestnuts,
I miss them all the more.
From what source
do these visions come to me?
Before my eyes
they uselessly taunt me,
not letting me sleep in peace.
Envoy
Not silver,
or gold, or precious jewels,
could ever match
the far greater treasure
that is one's own child.
