Farewell New York

Gently I walked away,

As I came gently;

I waved softly,

Say goodbye to the clouds in the west.

The golden willows by the river,

A bride in the sunset;

The bright shadows in the waves,

Ripples in my heart.

The green heart growing in the mud,

Oily and swaggering under the water;

In the soft waves of Cambridge,

I am willing to be a water plant!

The pool under the shade of the elm,

Not a spring,

It's the rainbow crushed in the floating algae,

Precipitation rainbow-like dreams.

Or to search for a dream? Hold a long artemisia,

To where the grass is greener,

With a ship full of starlight,

Sing in the splendor of starlight.

But I can't sing,

Quietly is the flute of parting;

Even the summer worms are silent for me,

Silence is Cambridge tonight!

I left quietly,

As I came quietly;

I waved my sleeve,

Without taking away a cloud.
