One morning in the flower garden a blind girl came to offer me a flower chain in the cover of a lotus leaf.

有一天早晨,一个盲女来献给我一串盖在荷叶下的花环。

I put it round my neck, and tears came to my eyes.

我把它挂在颈上,泪水涌上我的眼睛。

I kissed her and said, "You are blind even as the flowers are.

我吻了它,说:"你和花朵一样地盲目。"

"You yourself know not how beautiful is your gift."

"你自己不知道你的礼物是多么美丽。"
