Thanks for the kind words. A translation has much to lose and I've tried my best.
Farewell to a Darling is given by green leaves. Sadness is brilliantly expressed in this poem. Good care is needed in life. Amazing sharing is done!
Thank you so much for your comment and encouragement, Headmaster. A willow twig to a departing friend/lover has been a kind of ceremony(recorded in ancient Chinese poetry) to express one's sorrow and attachment.I borrowed this symbol :)
I loved the use of Weeping awillows in this poem. Nature is our mentor and teacher.
