徐燦·《踏莎行·初春》

芳草才芽，

梨花未雨。

春魂已作天涯絮。

晶簾宛轉(zhuǎn)為誰垂，

金衣飛上櫻桃樹。

故國茫茫，

扁舟何許。

夕陽一片江流去。

碧云猶疊舊河山，

月痕休到深深處。

Ta suo xing:

Early Spring

Xu Can

Fragrant grasses are just sprouting,

Pear blossoms not yet battered down by rain,

But spring’s soul is already a catkin at the edge of the sky.

The crystal curtain is softly hanging but for whom?

Orioles fly up to the cherry tree.

Vast and dim is the bygone kingdom,

Where may the small boat be?

A stretch of setting sunlight flows away with the stream.

Slate clouds still shroud the old rivers and hills;

May the moon’s tracks not reach that deep, deep spot!
