The second to fourth sections use different images in April to compare various pictures in life; Finally, the poet spoke frankly and said that "you" means "love", "warmth" and "hope".
The whole poem mostly uses images as metaphors, writing delicate and soft feelings, showing the beauty of lightness and elegance. At the same time, its content and form are perfectly combined, which perfectly combines the sense of music and painting in China's poetry tradition with the pursuit of rhythm in English classical poetry. It is a masterpiece of nature, which can be constantly recited and constantly grow new ideas.
Original text:
You are the April day on earth, I said, you are the April day on earth;
Laughter lit up the surrounding wind; Your soul dances in the glory of spring.
You are a cloud in the sky at the beginning of April. The wind at dusk is very soft, the stars blink inadvertently, and the drizzle is sprinkled in front of the flowers.
That's lightness, that's graceful, you are, the fairy face, the crown of flowers, you wear it, you are.
Naive and solemn, you are the full moon every night. When the snow melts, you look like a yellow gosling
The first green bud, you are; Gentle and happy, the water is floating with white lotus in your dream.
You are the flower of the tree, the swallow whispering between the beams,-you are love and warmth,
It's hope, you are April day on earth!

Creative background:
Lin (65438+June 1 0,0904-65438+April10955), Han nationality, originally from Min County, Fujian Province, was born in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province. Formerly known as Lin, its name comes from "poetry, elegance and strangeness": if a great man bears the emblem, he is a hundred people. Later, it was often mistaken for Lin, a male writer at that time, so it was renamed Lin.
This poem was published in Wen Xue, Volume 1, Issue 1, April, 1934. There are two opinions about this poem: one is to mourn Xu Zhimo, and the other is to write for the birth of his son to express his hope for his son and the joy brought by his birth.
Mr. Liang Congjie said in "Suddenly April Day on Earth": "My father once told me that" You are April Day on Earth "was made for me by my mother in the joy after my birth, but my mother never told me about it herself."
Mr. Liang's creative intention for this poem is very objective. Therefore, on the one hand, this poem is a love poem, written for Xu Zhimo who is already in heaven. On the other hand, Lin is a mother who has a strong maternal love for her children, and it is entirely possible to write such a lively poem for her children.
This poem was written by the poet for his newborn son, expressing his hope for his son and the joy brought by his birth. This is an excellent poem. On the occasion of the poet's death, friends such as Jin wrote such an elegy for the poet: "Poetry Waterfall, April Day on Earth."
