This is the first bright flower of ourgarden,

Remember when we planted it last fall

A round brown bulb? And how we loughed tighter,

Wondering if it would grow at all?

But here it is-a golden yellow flower;

A wondrous thing…a shining daffodil

Whose light is fair as dawn beyond thehill.

This is a symbol-like a star to guide us.

We planted beauty. Now that it has grown,

I see how dreams sown by two hearts mayblossom

Into loveliness no heart could find alone.

愛的花朵

這是今年園中第一朵明媚的花，

還記得去年秋天我們種的棕色球莖？

我們曾為這種事笑笑鬧鬧，

究竟這小東西會不會滋長生苗？

可是現在它已長成一朵金黃色的花，

一朵仙姿綽約，明淨耀眼的水仙花！

她的芬芳滿溢著春天的氣息，

她的光芒彷彿山林間的晨曦。

像一顆星星引導我們，這是一個啟示！

我們種下的美，現在已經成長。

一顆孤獨的心不會觸發甜蜜的愛，

只有兩顆心合力種下的夢想才會開花！
