The First Jasmines
Shown in author's own English -- not a translation we made.
Ah, these jasmines, these white jasmines!
I seem to remember the first day when I filled my hands with these jasmines, these white jasmines.
I have loved the sunlight, the sky and the green earth;
Many a glad day has come in my life, and I have laughed with merrymakers on festival nights.
Yet my heart is sweet with the memory of the first fresh jasmines that filled my hands when I was a child.
In plain words (ours, not the poet's): a grown-up remembers that, of all their happy memories, holding a handful of jasmine flowers as a child stays the sweetest.
