English poems praising the campus

Say goodbye to Cambridge again

-Xu Zhimo

I left quietly.

Just as I came here quietly;

I quietly waved goodbye.

To the rosy clouds in the western sky.

Golden willow by the river

Is a young bride in the sunset;

Their reflections in the waves.

Always haunting my heart.

A floating heart growing in the sludge

Swing leisurely underwater;

In the soft waves of Cambridge

I will be a water plant!

The pool in the shade of elm trees

It is not water, but a rainbow in the sky;

Break into pieces in duckweed

Is it the precipitation of rainbow-like dreams?

To dream? Just to prop up the boat and go upstream

Go to a greener place;

Or make the boat full of stars

Sing loudly in the splendor of starlight.

But I can't sing loudly.

Silence is my farewell music;

Even summer insects are silent for me.

Silence is Cambridge tonight!

I left quietly.

Just as I came here quietly;

I gently waved my sleeve.

I won't take away a cloud.

1 1 6th/month 1928

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,

Swing leisurely under the water;

In the soft waves of Cambridge,

I would like to be an aquatic plant!

A pool in the shade of elm trees,

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

Crushed between floating algae,

Precipitate a rainbow-like dream.

Looking for dreams? Take a wormwood,

Back to the 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.
