杨花  - 吴融

不斗秾华不占红，自飞晴野雪濛濛。

百花长恨风吹落，唯有杨花独爱风。

Willow Fluffs by Wu Rong

The race for gaudiest hue they simply ignore,

O, snow-like in the air, they feel so free to soar.

No petals save for willow fluffs love any wind,

To be borne down by gusts all blossoms long abhor.

V2. Poplar Fluffs

All races for loud colours they simply ignore,

O, snow-like, athwart wilds, they feel so free to soar.

No petals save for poplar fluffs love any wind,

To be brought down by gusts all blossoms long abhor.
