Sewn stitch by stitch, alas!

For fear his return be delayed.

Such kindness of warm sun

Can’t be repaid by grass.

Song of the Parting Son may be the most popular Chinese poem about a mother’s love. It describes a common matter in daily life — a mother making clothes for her son. Nearly every mother has sewn (縫補(bǔ)) something for their child and many sons and daughters are familiar with this. For this reason, this short poem has touched many people’s hearts.

In the last two lines, the poet uses a pair of metaphors (比喻). Meng compares the mother to the warm sun and the child to grass. This shows how great a mother’s love can be and what little a child can do to repay his or her mother.

Poet Meng Jiao (751-814) lived in poverty (貧困) all his life. He didn’t become a low-level official until he was in his 50s. Only a few years later, he resigned (辭去) from his official post because of the death of his mother. Meng was famous as a kuyin poet (苦吟詩人)．He took his poetry very seriously, spending a great deal of time considering each word.
