    The subject of this poem is the peony – a flower of great cultural significance in China. It flowers for a short time in late spring. Anyway, translating poetry is hard... Here's my clumsy attempt: As spring fades, the flower goddess falls silent in her palace The nobles of the capital hardly know her face anymore People have always envied her beauty Do not let her red sleeves lean on the railing
