（古詩英譯）花非花 － 白居易

花非花 － 白居易

 

花非花，霧非霧，

夜半來，天明去。

來如春夢幾時多？

去似朝雲無覓處。

 

A Verse by Bai Juyi 

(A Flower It Seems)

 

A flower it seems,

Or mayhap a mist?

It creeps in at mid-night

And sneaks out as dawn gleams.

It comes as if a surreal tryst,

It leaves like vapors in daylight…

 

Tr. Ziyuzile
