蝶戀花 春日風暴

蝶戀花 春日風暴

 

2005年春異暖，複活節前，諸花競發，蚊蟲多出，有如仲夏。

一日狂風暴雨驟作，豔粉嬌紅飛天墜地，一片狼藉。

自然之力，矯枉之功，可不敬乎？

昔日曾用英文十四行詩（ sonata）記此事。今再賦之。

 

春日百花都向暖，

未至清明，

柳絮隨溪滿。

開盛櫻花知早晚？

黃昏已見蚊蠅亂。

 

一覺東君簾幕卷，

驚看盈餘，

怒把東風遣。

橫雨狂風天黑暗，

漫天飛舞殘花片。

Spring Storm

 

When Horae fell into a slumber,

Her rivals raced to build an excess.

Before Easter warm days outnumber

The cool. Pear flowers eager to caress

Their sister crabapple and cherry.

The air’s hot more than the norm.

Gardener sweats, humming a song merry;

While flies and mosquitoes swarm.

 

Once Season wakes and sees the abuse

She dispatches a storm raging fast.

The roaring wind heralds bleak news:

Rain and hail the flowers blast.

 

Petals dance in air, white and red.

The order restored with numerous dead.
