On a Walk in the Early Spring Harmonizing a Poem By My Friend Lu Stationed at Changzhou
- Poetry of Du Shenyan

Only to wanderers can come

Ever new the shock of beauty,

Of white cloud and red cloud dawning from the sea,

Of spring in the wild-plum and river-willow....

I watch a yellow oriole dart in the warm air,

And a green water- plant reflected by the sun.

Suddenly an old song fills

My heart with home, my eyes with tears.
