Love
Love's Springtime
Translated by Herbert A. Giles (1898) · From Chinese Poetry in English Verse (1898)
Love
Twin blossoms blooming on a single flower!
Then comes the jealous storm with shattering sound.
Oh could we always feel the
Spring-God's power,
No petals scattered on the moss-grown ground!
