The Wing of Swans
By Zheng Min
Translated by John Balcom
Between freedom and captivity
Swans swim on the lake in the part
In passage, egrets come and go
Their wings have not been clipped
Swans live elegantly
In an intermediate state in the park
No one knows
If they are fortunate
鄭敏：天鵝的翅膀
在自由與不自由之間
天鵝們游在公園的湖水上
過路的鷺鷥來了又去了
它們的翅膀沒有剪過
天鵝典雅地生活在
公園的中間狀態
沒有人知道
它們是不是幸福
