In front of my window, there is a birch tree, which seems to be covered with silver frost and snowflakes.
Furry branches, lace embroidered with snowflakes, strings of blooming flowers and picturesque white tassels.
In the hazy silence, birch trees stand tall. In the golden light, there are shining snowflakes.
Birch trees wander around, and the morning glow comes late. It covered the snow-covered branches with a layer of silver luster.
2. To the Oak Tree-China poet Shu Ting
If I love you-I will never show off on your high branches like climbing Campbell;
If I love you-I will never learn from spoony birds and repeat monotonous songs for the shade;
It is not only like spring, but also brings cool comfort all year round;
It is not just like a dangerous peak, it increases your height and sets off your dignity.
Even during the day. Even spring rain.
No, these are not enough!
I must be a kapok beside you, standing with you as a tree.
Roots, close to the ground, leaves, lingering in the clouds.
Every time a gust of wind passes, we greet each other, but no one understands us.
You have your copper branches and iron stems, like a knife, like a sword, and like a halberd;
I have my red flowers, like a heavy sigh and like a heroic torch.
We share cold waves, storms and lightning; We like mist, flowing mist and rainbow.
Seemingly separated forever, but dependent for life. This is great love, and loyalty is here:
Love-not only love your stalwart body, but also love your stand and the land under your feet.
The Creation Background of To the Oak Tree
Shu Ting once talked about the creative background of the poem "To the Oak Tree": "In fact, the production of this poem is simple and ordinary." Shu Ting recalled. 1975 Cai Qijiao, an old returned overseas Chinese poet who once helped her a lot in writing, visited Gulangyu Island. One night, while Shu Ting was walking with him, Cai Qijiao told her about the girls she met in her life.
It's bold to talk openly about the girl you liked in the 1970s. Cai Qijiao said that there are beautiful girls, but no talent; Talented girls are not beautiful; Beautiful, talented and fierce, he found it difficult to find a perfect girl.
Shu Ting said that she was very angry after listening to it. She thinks this is male chauvinism and men and women should be equal. So that night, she wrote a poem "Oak Tree" and gave it to Cai Qijiao. Later, when it was published, it was changed to To Oak. "In fact, oak trees in the south can never grow with kapok trees. In this poem, they are used as references for men and women. " She added.
