林中最麗
林中櫻花正值最美花季，
蓓蕾盛葩沿著樹幹掛係，
在林間騎徑旁矗立，
為複活節穿著潔白裙衣。
人生命數定在古稀，
已去廿年無法回逆，
七十拿去二十，
隻留下五十可曆。
既要賞盡各種花枝，
五十春季不過短暫空時，
我將暢遊在那片樹林裏
去看櫻花掛寫的雪意。
Loveliest of Trees by A. E. Housman
Loveliest of trees, the cherry now
Is hung with bloom along the bough,
And stands about the woodland ride
Wearing white for Eastertide.
Now, of my threescore years and ten,
Twenty will not come again,
And take from seventy springs a score,
It only leaves me fifty more.
And since to look at things in bloom
Fifty springs are little room,
About the woodlands I will go
To see the cherry hung with snow.
