流泛在孩子兩眼的睡眠——有誰知道它是從什么地方來的？是的，有個謠傳，說它是住在螢火蟲朦朧的照耀著林蔭的仙村里，在那個地方，掛著兩個迷人的膽怯的蓓蕾。它便是從那個地方來吻了孩子的兩眼的。

當孩子睡時，在他唇上浮動著的微笑——有誰知道它是從什么地方生出來的？是的，有個謠傳，說新月的一線年輕的清光，觸著將消未消的秋云邊上，于是微笑便初生在一個浴在清露里的早晨的夢中了——當孩子睡時，微笑便在他的唇上浮動著。

甜蜜柔嫩的新鮮生氣，像花一般地在孩子的四肢上開放著——有誰知道它在什么地方藏得這樣久？是的，當媽媽還是一個少女的時候，它已在愛的溫柔而沉靜的神秘中，潛伏在她的心里了——甜蜜柔嫩的新鮮生氣，像花一般地在孩子的四肢上開放著。
