(Su 1895—— 1925)
A stout plum tree,
Open it with a spring,
Golden branches,
Grow like curly hair.
Sweet dew,
Dropping down the bark;
Leaving a green trace of spices,
Shining silver.
Satin nail
Shining in the dew,
Like bright earrings,
Put it on a pretty girl's ear.
Where the residual snow melts,
On the grass near the roots,
A silver stream,
Happy flow all the way.
The stout plum tree stretches its branches,
Give off a charming fragrance,
Golden green sign,
Reflecting sunlight.
The stream makes waves of broken jade,
Splashed on the branches of the thick plum tree,
Playing the strings under the cliff,
Sing for her affectionately.
