Poem: Windflowers
Author: Seals & Crofts
Windflowers
My father told me not to
Go near them
He feared them always
Said that they carried him away
勿近风花，
吾父告吾。
常恐风花，
惧其摄魂。
Windflowers
I couldn't wait to touch them
To smell them
I held them closely
Now I cannot break away
渴盼亲近，
一嗅芳泽。
紧握风花，
片刻不离。
Their sweet bouquet
Disappears
Like a vapor
In the desert
Take a warning, son
风花之香，
如烟消逝。
以此为戒，
吾父告吾。
Windflowers
Their beauty captures every
Young dreamer
Who lingers near them
Ancient windflowers I love you
风花之美，
摄人心魄。
不朽风花，
吾之所爱！
