The willow is like a nymph with streaming hair;Wherever it grows, there is green and gold and
fair.

The ginkgo forces it way through gray concrete;
Like a city child, it grows up in the street.

Thrust against the/metal sky,Somehow it survives and even
thrives.

My eyes feast upon the willow,But my heart goes to the ginkgo.
