A poet said

Lili Boulanger

A poet said that when he was young

poems budded out of him like roses on a rose bush.

When I think of her, it feels like

there is an inexhaustible spring in my heart.

As God gives the lily the odor of a church

and tints the cherry's cheeks,

I want to give her with devotion

the colour of a perfume that shall have no name.
