by Tschan-Jo-Su (flourished 19th century)
Translation by Anonymous / Unidentified Author

Fleur du pêcher
Language: French (Français)  after the Chinese (中文) 
Fleur du pêcher frémissait 
Comme une aile rose du papillon crée la brise.
Souriante l'eau qui reflête l'arbre fin.
Quand finiront mes peines ?
Le souffle d'Orient porte jusqu'à moi 
une odeur douce des péches en fleurs.
Epuissé je les sens.
Et levers maladif sort de mes lèvres.
Ô vienne la nuit et ouvre tes bras aimables à ma peine.
Le sommeil désiré.
