The emerald-like innermost feeling of the yore
Spreads out at the deepest part of the soul
Shimmering with dark-green light on the other bank of time

When I drove passing a small street
Today
I saw fallen leaves drifting profusely, like rain
...
Every floral flourishing
Is a hope of dream
Every brilliant blow
Is a risk of life

Sometimes I don't know why
I just feel so sad
...
Maple leaves are red
We tour Xiang Shan Mountain
Passing the flaming woods
And two maple leaves
...
A vehicle ran over the autumn leaves on a road
And drove away
I picked up a greenless autumn leaf
In half red and half yellow
...
No, I can’t go on any more
Distant and uncertain is the sea
So I have to cherish my cravings in my heart.
...
One side is spring the other autumn
you are the spring I the autumn
the spring and the autumn
...
Vanished - an autumn of golden yellow and a winter of withered gray
Flaunted - a spring of vivid green and a summer of blooming emerald
If tonight

On a summer day, at dusk
I took a walk around the lake
There on the bench near the lake

The Seventeen's
The emerald-like innermost feeling of the yore
Spreads out at the deepest part of the soul
Shimmering with dark-green light on the other bank of time
The maid wearing a pink skirt
With a confused heart
Often strolls on the bank-side grass
Yet she can never pass
Even with expectation and aspirations
The ivy-coated door
Daylight and starlight continually keep replacing each other
With tear drops gliding adown on the strings
Crystal clear, salty bitter, and still silent
The ever-lasting fair shadow of adolescence
Treads the lawn of life painful
And the sweetness of seventeen's will stay lingering lifetime after all.
