Away zephyr carries the heat

The cicada choir quietly retreats

When leaves descend to kiss the ground,

with stealth, autumn has come around

Yawns in afternoon sunshine proliferating

Osmanthus with sweet fragrance prospering

Greenery under matinal beam perspiring

Autumn signs in HUST all-pervading

Ginkgo, birch and parasol,

HUST palettes itself with gold

Chestnut, hawthorn and sweet potato

Fragrance of this golden time lays alfresco

In the woods the foliage glow

through rays of dawn, with the motes

Clouds all don their silver lining,

sporadically taking a bow

Shooting arrows of light,

to make banisters rustily alluring

to let bicycles shine from age

to paint pebble roads golden tracks

to render everywhere in HUST scenic spots

Step outside,

snatch a moment of leisure,

the daily hustle can wait

Grab a book,

Greet the day,

the rendezvous shall be enjoyed
