Jasmine

What a beautiful jasmine,What a beautiful jasmine,The flowers and grass in the garden aren’tmore fragrant than it;I wanted to pick one to wear,The gardener would scold me.

What a beautiful jasmine,What a beautiful jasmine,When it blossoms, even the snow is notwhiter than it;I wanted to pick one to wear,But I am afraid to be laughed at by others.

What a beautiful jasmine,What a beautiful jasmine,None of the blossoming flowers is asbeautiful as it;I wanted to pick one to wear,But I worried it would not put forth the newbuds next year.I wanted to pick one to wear,But I worried it would not put forth new budsnext year.
