All are common experiences，

All are ordinary images，

Once they happen to come into dreams，

What novelties they can make!

All are ordinary feelings，

All are common words，

Once a poet happens to catch them，

What magic poetry they can create!

One never knows how strong is the wine

Until drunk，

One never knows how deep is the feeling

Until loved，

You are not able to write my poems，

As I cannot dream your dreams.

夢與詩

都是平常經驗，

都是平常影象，

偶然涌到夢中來，

變幻出多少新奇花樣!

都是平常情感，

都是平常言語，

偶然碰著個詩人，

變幻出多少新奇詩句!

醉過才知酒濃，

愛過才知情重，

你不能做我的詩，

正如我不能做你的夢!
