Lời Thề Ban Sơ (Đạo Sinh)

Đảo xanh hứng mấy giọt sầu
Hắt hiu cánh nhạn tìm đâu nẻo về
Mịt mù muôn dặm sơn khê
Trong ta vẫn đọng lời thề ban sơ...
***
On the green island
Some dismal visions
Came to my mind now and then.

As a lonely swallow in the gloomy sky,
I knew nowhere I would stay.
However long the journey might be,
Within myself remained forever the initial aspiration
For being ultimately awakened!
