Maruyama Park
Chou En-lai

Cherry blossoms all over the park,
Brilliantly glowing;
Lights shining out on all sides;
Throngs of people chattering and clattering.
A drooping willow nestles by a small pond.
A young girl stands there all alone.
Which is the lovelier—
The cherry blossoms or the willow?
Quite forlorn, she speaks not a word.
And nobody seems to care.
