摘錄
泡桐是一種喜光的速生樹種，原產於中國，春季先葉開花，花大，是不明顯的唇形，略有香味，盛花時滿樹花非常壯觀，花落後長出大葉，葉密而大，樹蔭非常隔光。是良好的綠化和行道樹種。但泡桐不太耐寒，一般只分佈在海河流域南部和黃河流域，是黃河故道上防風固沙的最好樹種。
泡桐生長非常迅速，十幾年樹齡的泡桐要比同齡楊樹直徑大一倍，但生長時間長了，樹榦會出現中空。由於生長迅速，所以木材材質輕軟，容易加工，但也耐酸耐腐，防濕隔熱，特別適合製作航空、艦船模型、膠合板、救生器械等，由於其木質疏鬆，共振好，也適合製作樂器，小枝可用來製作炭筆。
日本人傳統如果生了女孩，會在屋前種上一株泡桐樹，等到女兒出嫁時，這棵泡桐的木材可以為女兒打出全套嫁妝傢具。但中國人一般用比較堅硬的木材製作傢具，不習慣使用泡桐木。
日本人還將中國人對梧桐的傳說附會到泡桐身上，認為泡桐會引來鳳凰。雖然兩種樹屬於不同的科，但有相似的地方，尤其是漢字名稱都有「桐」字。

Madonna - Miles Away
I just woke up from a fuzzy dream
You never would believe the things that I have seen
I looked in the mirror and I saw your face
You looked right through me, you were miles away
All my dreams, they fade away
I'll never be the same
If you could see me the way you see yourself
I can't pretend to be someone else
Always love me more, miles away
I hear it in your voice, miles away
You're not afraid to tell me, miles away
I guess we're at our best, miles away
So far away, so far away, so far away, so far away
So far away, so far away, so far away, so far away
When noone is around then I have you here
I begin to see the picture, it becomes so clear
You always have the biggest heart
When we're 6.000 miles apart
Too much of no sound
Uncomfortable silence can be so loud
Those three words are never enough
When it's long distance love
Always love me more, miles away
I hear it in your voice, miles away
You're not afraid to tell me, miles away
I guess we're at our best, miles away
So far away, so far away, so far away, so far away
So far away, so far away, so far away, so far away
I'm alright
Don't be sorry, but it's true
When I'm gone, you realize
That I'm the best thing that happened to you
You always love me more, miles away
I hear it in your voice, miles away
You're not afraid to tell me, miles away
I guess we're at our best, miles away
You always love me more, miles away
I hear it in your voice, miles away
You're not afraid to tell me, miles away
I guess we're at our best, miles away
So far away, so far away, so far away, so far away
So far away, so far away, so far away, so far away
So far away, so far away, so far away, so far away
So far away, so far away, so far away, so far away
So far away, so far away, so far away, so far away
