No prairie fire can destroy the grass, it shoots up again with the spring breeze blows.

Source: A translation from a classical Chinese poem by someone.

Do you think "with the spring breeze blows" is grammatical? It seems to me should have been "with the spring breeze blowing". I am not absolutely sure.
 
Just "with the spring breezes."

We know what breezes do.
 
Say:

It shoots up again with the spring breeze.

Or:

It shoots up when the spring breeze blows.
 
The simple present tense is preferred since it is a regular occurrence.
