20

DAY after day he comes and goes away.

Go, and give him a flower from my hair, my friend.

If he asks who was it that sent it, I entreat you do not tell him my name—for he only comes and goes away.

He sits on the dust under the tree.

Spread there a seat with flowers and leaves, my friend.

His eyes are sad, and they bring sadness to my heart.

He does not speak what he has in mind; he only comes and goes away.

他天天来了又走了。

去吧，把我头上的花朵送去给他吧，我的朋友。

假如他问赠花的人是谁，

我请你不要把我的名字告诉他——因为他来了又要走的。

他坐在树下的地上。

用繁花密叶给他敷设一个座位吧，我的朋友。

他的眼神是忧郁的，它把忧郁带到我的心中。

他没有说出他的心事；他只是来了又走了。
