Maple leaves
Language: English
Available translation(s): 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。
