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 sunshine, 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, touching 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.
Extended data
Through the artistic technique of overall symbol and the inner monologue from "kapok" to "oak tree", this poem enthusiastically and frankly sings his own personality ideal and love view, which requires standing shoulder to shoulder, independence and affection.
At the beginning of this poem, two hypotheses and six negative metaphors are used to express her love view: she doesn't want to climb on the other side and show off her vanity by the other side's prosperity; I don't want to drown in each other's indifferent shadows and sing unrequited love songs alone. As a woman, she should be affectionate, considerate and gentle by default, but she thinks that she can't just stay in this state.
She admits that bedding and foil can make each other's image more prominent and powerful, but she still feels that this does not represent the whole of love. For each other, I want to offer the warmth like "eyes" and pour out the affection like "spring rain". The poet made it clear that she must stand in the same position as the other party-you are a tree, I must be a tree, and it is an equally tall and straight tree; You stand, I have to stand.
The whole poem personifies and spiritualizes "kapok" and "oak tree", which makes these two central images shine with ideological and aesthetic light from the outside to the inside. Kapok can be understood as a symbol of the beauty of modern women full of youth, softness and rigidity, and also as an impassioned, rich emotion and unique deep personality. Oak shows a masculine temperament, which is a symbol of stalwart and strong character.
