The Last Chrysanthemum
p>The last chrysanthemum
Why did this chrysanthemum stay so long to show its trembling down?
Now is the time when the robin cries,
When the flowers are buried in their graves.
In the long summer, beams of sunshine
were invited to visit the leaves and petals,
The sun has done what it should do for the flowers, < /p>
Why didn’t this flower bloom then?
It must have felt the fiery call,
Although it paid no heed,
but now it is awake, as the leaves fall like zombies,
When the sap becomes invisible.
Its beauty comes too late, a lonely thing,
The glory of the season has been exhausted,
Nothing is left for it, it has no choice but to
Trembling in the violent wind and snow.
Does it have a reason to linger?
Mindlessly whimsical,
For a delicate and beautiful flower,
The harsh winter is certain Will he restrain himself from harming himself?
- Look what I said, like a flower
Born with the ability to think;
However, this is just one of many masks,
God is worn behind the back.
