TO BANY In the silence of night,
I walked along the Lakeside,
A voice, as if from the dark unseen world,
flowing into my mind,
Soft and sweet, telling me
the feelings of Farewell in the rain.
Distressed, I began to realize,
what brought the two minds together.
A saying, acknowledged by all, said
those of the same fate, could meet from far apart,
So, the two, from north and south,
got acquainted at the paradise-Hangzhou.
Seeing the little ones coming into this world,
I saw terrified Bany turned into overjoyed.
Could my shoulder be a soft pillow to rest your head,
I will then be at ease.
So much we talked with trust,
in each other over kinds of topics.
So less could be expressed, even a word,
at the moment of parting.
What made the Westlake, the Lake of Heaven,
so more beautiful,
My beloved, Bany, flew into me,
and brought the brightness to thee.
If I could walk just like this into
the dream of myself alone, then
The time we spent, would be rising again like the sun,
shining over you and me.
