Farewell to Cambridge What kind of poem is it?

During his two years in Cambridge, the poet was deeply influenced by western education and romanticism and aestheticism poets in Europe and America, pursuing the life ideal of individual liberation, the life ideal of "love, freedom and beauty" and the political ideal of British bourgeois democracy. However, after returning to China, the poet was repeatedly frustrated. A poet who used to be like a "happy snowflake" has become a "humble" and "residual reed", sighing in despair. The disillusionment of the ideal aroused the poet's memory and cherish of the past Cambridge years, and the poet strolled on Cambridge in such a mood. Therefore, the emotions reflected in poetry are complex, including disillusioned sadness, love and attachment to the alma mater, and faint parting.

The clouds in the western sky, the golden willows by the river, the sparkling shadows in the river, and the green grass on the soft mud ... all kinds of objects set each other off, all of which are saturated with the poet's infinite affection for Cambridge.

I left quietly,

When I came softly;

I waved gently,

Say goodbye to the western clouds.

Golden willow by the river,

Is the bride in the sunset;

Shadows in the waves,

Ripple in my heart.

Green grass on the soft mud,

Oily, swaying at the bottom of the water;

In the gentle waves of He Kang River,

I would like to be an aquatic plant!

A pool in the shade of a tree,

Not a clear spring, but a rainbow in the sky;

Crushed between floating algae,

Precipitate a rainbow-like dream.

Looking for dreams? Lift a long pole,

Back to greener grass;

Full of stars,

Play songs in a starry place.

But I can't play songs,

Quiet is a farewell flute;

Summer insects are also silent for me,

Silence is Cambridge tonight!

I left quietly,

Just as I came quietly;

I waved my sleeve,

Don't take away a cloud.
