“Nothing gold can stay”

At the golden hour, you are mine and nature alone

Your glory in the fleeting light

Your beauty your might

In the coming impending darkness, you shine

You are finally mine.

By Nguyễn Thị Phương Trâm

There's magic in translating a body of work from one language to another.
