The Peony’s Whisper Emily Dickinson A peony buds in secret air- Its hues are shy to meet the sun- But when the light unclasps its hair- The garden trembles-one by one. Its petals, like a whispered vow, Unfold in velvet silence deep- The wind, that paused to watch it now,Steals half its fragrance as it sleeps. 《牡丹的私语》 一株牡丹在隐秘的空气中抽芽— 它的色彩羞于直面阳光— 但当光线解开它的发绺— 花园便一瓣接一瓣地战栗。 它的花瓣，如一句低语的誓言， 在天鹅绒般的寂静中舒展— 风、曾驻足凝望此刻的它， 却在它沉睡时，偷走了半缕芬芳。 4d Present your poster in class.
