Childhood

Below is my translation of one of my favorite poems, by the Chinese writer Bing Xin (冰心). Couldn't find a better translation of it online, so I thought I'll try my hand at translating it myself. I hope you'll enjoy it.



Childhood
Is the reality within the dream,
Is the dream within the reality,
Is the tear-filled smile of recollection.
