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。
Make your poster.

The most beautiful flower-Peonies
Do you know peonies? They have big, round flowers. They come in pink, red, white... even yellow! Their petals are soft like silk. In China, we call them the “Queen of Flowers”. And they are called “National Flower”.
People grow peonies in gardens for over 1,000 years! In ancient stories, peonies stand for happiness and good luck. Artists love painting them, and you can see peony pictures on cups, clothes, and even buildings! When spring comes, peonies bloom. Their sweet smell makes people happy. Next time you see a peony, say “Hi, Queen!” to it!
