You go, I'll go
Author: Xu Zhimo (Modern)
You go, I'll go, and we'll break up here.
Which road you take, you can rest assured,
Look at that street lamp that lights up to the horizon,
You just have to follow this bright straight line!
You go first, and I'll stand here and look at you.
Keep your feet down, and don't let the dust rise.
I want to recognize your distant figure,
until the distance makes me unable to recognize you,
Otherwise, I'll call your name,
Keep reminding you that I'm here,
In order to clear up the desolate street and the desolate night.
When I enter this alley, look at the tree.
It reaches the sky, and I turn there.
It's a wild mess in the past.
There are deep pools, shallow depressions, and the water is half lit.
It looks like tears in the night awn.
There are stones and creeping weeds with hooked ankles.
I strode forward.
This wilderness is full of freshness at night,
It is not covered with dark clouds, but if the wind blows,
There will be waves and stars flowing in the sea of clouds,
What's more, it will always shine through my heart,
There is that pearl that never sleeps, and I love you!
Extended information:
Creation background:
"You go, I will go" is a poem attached by Xu Zhimo in a letter to Lin Huiyin in July 1931, which was later published in the third issue of Poetry Journal on October 5 of the same year. Xu Zhimo fell in love with Lin Huiyin, and Lin Huiyin married Liang Sicheng. Although the first sentence of this poem says that you will go, I will go, and we will break up here, this is not a breakup poem, but a love oath poem written in my life.
Appreciation:
The whole poem "You Go, I'll Go" has no gorgeous words, but it is plain and simple, but it gives people a bright feeling. This love poem is deeply rooted in people's hearts and has an extraordinary charm. It expresses small things and what you really see, hear and feel in your heart through words. The rhythm of the poem is compact and harmonious, and it is catchy to read.
The poem "You Go, I'll Go" is written sincerely. The poet tells the woman in the poem to take the bright road, but she takes the rugged path, across the deep pools and shallow depressions, over rocks and creeping weeds, and stays with the woman at a distance, making a vow to accompany her for life. The author compares the woman in the poem to a night pearl. With this pearl, the poet can stride forward without scruple. This pearl is to illuminate his own way forward.
