June Gloom

 


1 朝雲滿天六月霧
Morning clouds are but the fog of June gloom,
2 日破中午猛然浩 Breaking out suddenly at noon, the sun blazes away.
3 綠柳塘前晚來伴 Willows by the pond has the night for companionship,
4 紫花雨後風吹掃 But the jacaranda rain has the wind sweeping the blossoms away.

1 Literally, “morning clouds fill the sky, June Fog”.

2 This is what June Gloom looks like in Southern California.  This is a picture of Seal Beach.


However, there are times when the sun does not come out at all.

3 literally, “willows before the pond”

4 Technically, jacaranda is called 藍花楹. The wind is the culprit and to add insult to injury, they are swept away like trash.
