A Butterfly in Love with a Flower
(Translated from Su Dong Po’s Poem)
While flower petals are drifting away
Fruit of the flower is growing
While swallows are flying away
The stream around the house is still flowing
While catkins on the willows are now rare
Green grass is still everywhere
While a girl is swinging inside
A man walks by
He listens to her laughter
Against the high wall
When her laughter fades away
He utters a sigh
A crush is a crush and sometimes you can only sigh
