Flora-

I can write no stately proem我写不出华丽的序言As a prelude to my lay作为这些短歌的序曲From a poet to a poem我胆敢在此说出的只是I would dare to say一个诗人到一首诗For if of these fallen petals倘若这些凋落的残花Once to you seem fair能有一朵你觉得美丽Love will waft it till it settles爱就会将它吹送On your hair安息在你的发丝And when wind and winter harden当北风与冬天让一切凝固All the loveless land一切变成爱的荒原It will whisper of the garden它就会低诉花园的絮语You will understand你就会恍然大悟
