Rose seed stretched like dead branch stretched out green leaf,
stretched like wild weed climbed up bare mountain cliff,
like butterfly broke through pale stone cocoon,
like lily blossomed under pale pearl moon.
Rose stem grew stings like bird grew wings feather,
like chesnut branch in full fragrant flower,
like summer stars filled starry dome of night,
like leaves filled amber lake, hid beauty's sight.
Rose bloomed as fragrant as chesnut blossom,
and bloomed as gorgeous as the stars in dome,
but chesnut blossom fell like butterfly,
and starlight hid in lights under night sky.
Rose watched chestnut leaf fluttered down green lake,
and fell fragrant petal like pale snowflake.
