Maple leaves

Language: English

Our translations: CHI

October turned my maple's leaves to gold;
The most are gone now; here and there one lingers:
Soon these will slip from out the twigs' weak hold,
Like coins between a daying miser's fingers.

枫叶

Language: Chinese (中文) after the English

十月把枫叶变成了金色；
多数已不见，只有一叶拖延：
很快会从枝的阻隔滑落，
像守财奴指间的硬币一般。
