Spring and International Day of Poetry
春季和国际诗歌日

What a wonderful initiative! I've just found out that March 21 is International Poetry Day as called by Julius Meinl, a coffee-roasting company since 1862 and sponsored by UNESCO. 

If one is a poet, one of its poems could pay for a coffee in any of the 1,100 cafes in Continental Europe as well as in UK, the USA or Australia.

多么美妙的创举！我刚刚发现3月21日是国际诗歌日，由朱利叶斯·梅因（Julius Meinl）发起，这是一家自1862年以来由联合国教科文组织赞助的咖啡烘焙公司。

如果一个人是诗人，那么其中一首诗就可以在欧洲大陆以及英国，美国或澳大利亚的1100家咖啡馆中的任何一家咖啡馆买杯咖啡。

 

LITTLE THINGS


By Julia Fletcher Carney

Little drops of water,

Little grains of sand,

Make the mighty ocean

And the pleasant land.

(The first verse)

小东西

朱莉娅·弗莱彻·卡尼（Julia Fletcher Carney）

一小滴水，

小沙粒，

创造强大的海洋

和宜人的土地。

（第一节经文）
