You simply went by, West Wind --
You simply blew off my candle and went by,
leaving a page not yet finished and the volume still held in my hand,
leaving a room of darkness contrasted against the deep blue outside my window.
When a maple leaf floats down like the echo of the year long past,
like the book leaf gently closed by my fingers,
When the past sentiment of love at night condenses in my eyes for lack of candlelight,
at this moment, I recall, in a natural way, the time of my youth.
Ai! at the time of my youth, my love went by just like the west wind went by!
Hi,
I translated a Chinese poem into the above to practice my English. Correct me if I am wrong. Thanks.

When the West Wind Went By
You simply went by, West Wind --

When the past sentiment of love at night condenses in my eyes for lack of candlelight,
