Tz'u No. 13 by Li Ching Chao
To the tune of "Song of Peace"
Year by year, in the snow, I have often gathered plum flowers, intoxicated with their beauty. Fondling them impudently I got my robe wet with their lucid tears.
This year I have drifted to the corner of the sea and the edge of the horizon, My temples have turned grey.
Judging by the gust of the evening wind, It is unlikely I will again enjoy the plum blossoms.
