FRIMAIRE

    DEAREST, we are like two flowers Blooming in the garden, A purple aster1 flower and a red one Standing2 alone in a withered3 desolation.

    The garden plants are shattered and seeded, One brittle4 leaf scrapes against another, Fiddling5 echoes of a rush of petals6. Now only you and I nodding together.

    Many were with us； they have all faded. Only we are purple and crimson7, Only we in the dew-clear mornings, Smarten into color as the sun rises.

    When I scarcely see you in the flat moonlight, And later when my cold roots tighten8, I am anxious for morning, I cannot rest in fear of what may happen.

    You or I-and I am a coward. Surely frost should take the crimson. Purple is a finer color,

    Very splendid in isolation9.

    So we nod above the broken Stems of flowers almost rotted. Many mornings there cannot be now For us both. Ah, Dear, I love you！
