Analysis of Peony
The peonies are blossoming in red
In the front garden joy they spread
In big bushes they are standing in rows
The early dew on its pedals glows
They are giant roses without thorns
Springtime garden the peony adorns
Saying nothing from the lover's pain
His unanswered love, his attempts in vain
Blood-red as his longing heart
These flowers are nothing but art.
