Original | modern poetry: If the tree is going to sprout

The early birds haven't come home yet

If the rain is going to fall

The sparse clouds had not yet gathered

Girl on the swing, windmill gently fluttering ah

Autumn leaves have not left, if this is love

The birds that left home flew back this morning

Flowers that have been sleeping for a long time are also blooming

I just want to ask about that tree

It's time to sprout

The wind warmed up, it was the spring wind that blew

The girl's long skirt fluttered with the wind

I want to ask the tree,

If the spring wind blows, the willows float up

The tree in front of the door, will it sprout?

If the cherry blossoms bloom only have a scent

The song outside the window, will it still be sung today?

Raindrops in the clouds, dripping, not slow or urgent

If the tree is going to sprout

The girl on the swing, do you remember me?

The tree by the window is about to sprout,

The raindrops kept falling

Girls are fond of floral tweed

Do you like windmill turns?

The swing is moving again

The girl's long hair fluttered lightly with the spring breeze

That's when spring comes

The window is full of flowers

The girl's long hair fluttered with the wind

I heard the songs of my memories sing

The birds flew, the flowers fluttered, and the windmills spun

What if that's love
