Song of Spring
When variegated daisies bloom all over the pasture,
blue violets, white beauty shirts,
and The rhododendron blooms with delicate yellow buds,
depicting a vast joy;
Listen to the cuckoo singing on every tree,
bring the girl to you The married man sneered:
Grrrr!
Coo! Cuckoo! Ah, the terrible sound!
It makes the husband’s heart beat with fear.
When the carefree shepherd boy plays the wheat flute,
The skylark in the morning wakes up the farmer,
The turtle doves and crows are all looking for partners,
The girls rinse their summer dresses;
Listen to the cuckoo singing on every tree,
Mock the married man:
< p> Cuckoo!Coo! Cuckoo! Ah, the terrible sound!
It makes the husband’s heart beat with fear.
("Love in vain" Act 5, Scene 2)
