情歌
Liu Bannong
Slight cloud floating in heaven,
Slight wind blowing on the ground.
Ah!
Breeze blowing my hair,
How can I do not want her?
Moonlight love the sea,
Ocean love the moonlight.
Ah!
So honey-like silver night
How can I do not want her?
Slowly falling water flow
Underwater fish swim slowly.
Ah!
Swallow what you say, then?
How can I do not want her?
Withered in the cold in the shake,
Wildfires burn in the twilight.
Ah!
Nishi also some children Canxia,
How can I do not want her?
September 4, 1920, London.

From September 16, 1923 "Morning Supplement"
In 1920, Liu Bannong he studied in Europe, is committed to linguistic research. In the new literary movement, he is a member of the Xiao Qiang, now away from the burning flames of anti-feudal struggle homeland, became an overseas from home, feeling a lot, so give feelings of deep pen written the song poems.
Poems was published title "Love Song", later changed to "How Can I do not want her." According to the same year in Europe studying with the poet, and to compose the poem's Professor Zhao Yuanren, said the poem's "she", Chao and Liu Bannong on behalf of the year when day and night in the foreign country. It seems that the poem is the poet of patriotism in the real revealing, but not one as ordinary people understand the thoughts of the lover's love poems.
Then the poet through the moonlight and ocean seamless fit, hard to fall back on the intelligence-like anthropomorphic description of the poet heart full of the kind of association to the lingering sadness, attachment hard to express thoughts, which create a vivid " honey-like silver night "under the bitter love the mood. The water floating flowers, river fish, which itself contains two _set_s of images erratic, who have no reports of symbolic meaning, and "slowly" as an amount of time, stress is the contrast of meaning: a sense of urgency of the poet Emotional and thoughts of helplessness of the state fails. Even the poet has finally passed the swallows home information does not hear the words clearly, which reinforces the poet's sense of loss! Fourth, "withered," "Wildfire," two pairs of very unique. From the sense, "cold" to "hot" thoughts of love the poet's two levels, namely, depressed and anxious; two complement each other, each other contrast. Likened to Canxia wildfire rather than fire, and very reasonable interest. Wildfire fire more than the identity of the poet as a wanderer; the same time, wildfires also reminiscent of spring. How much a poet it ignited some hope. The whole atmosphere of the poem by the light and strong mood, emotional rhythm by the light and heavy, making the content of the subject implemented progressively.
Meanwhile, the image of the poem notes that the requirements of hearing, vivid clear, concise language pop, rhythm and smooth, neat style, very suitable for music. This is undoubtedly the exploration of new poetry in the form of considerable instructive.
