01
The red beans grow in southern land.
How many load in spring the trees?
红豆生南国，春来发几枝？
Gather them till full is your hand;
They would revive fond memories.
愿君多采撷，此物最相思。
——【唐】王维《相思》
Wang Wei/《Love Seeds》

I do not know today where the pink face has gone;
In vernal breeze still smile pink peach blossoms full blown.
人面不知何处去，桃花依旧笑春风。

Cui Jiao /《To the Maid of My Aunt 》

The west is vieled in rain,the east enjoys sunshine,
My gallant is as deep in love as the day is fine.
东边日出西边雨，道是无晴却有晴。

By riverside a pair,
Of turtledoves are cooing;

whom a young man is wooing.
窈窕淑女，君子好逑。
——《周南·关雎》
《Cooing ang Wooing》

The peach tree beams so red;
How brilliant are its flowers!
桃之夭夭，灼灼其华。

Good for the nuptial bowers.
之子于归，宜其室家。
——《周南·桃夭》
《The Newly-Wed》

Green,green the reed,
Frost and dew gleam.
蒹葭苍苍，白露为霜。
Where’s she I need?
Beyond the stream.
所谓伊人，在水一方。

《Where Is She?》

If love between both sides can last for aye,
Why need they stay together night and day?

I yearn for long,
I yearn for long.

To none in love not strong.
欲把相思说似谁，浅情人不知。

Then not in vain of you I pine.
只愿君心似我心，定不负相思意。

12
If you ask me how deep and wide I am lovesick,
若问闲情都几许？
Just see a misty plain where grass grows thick,
A townful of willow down wafting on the breeze,
一川烟草，满城风絮，
Or drizzling rain yellowing all mume-trees!
梅子黄时雨。
——【宋】贺铸《青玉案·凌波不过横塘路》
He Zhu/《Green Jade Cup》
