"Late Spring"
Li Ch'ing-Chao (Sung Dynasty)
Wind stopped
earth
smelling of fallen blossoms
Day almost over
Too weary to comb my hair
His belongings here
He here no longer
Everything useless
Before I can say a word
tears flow first
At Twin Stream
they say
the spring still beautiful
I too
would like to go rowing in a light boat
but I'm afraid
that little boat on Twin Stream
would not carry
so much sorrow!
