A DREAM LIKE SONG

                                   ——李清照

  Last night the strong wind blew with a rain fine;

  sound sleep did not dispel the aftertaste of wine.

  “The same crab apple,” says she,

  “can be seen.” “But don’t you know, oh ,

  don’t you know the red should languish and the green should grow?”
