（古詩英譯）《雪梅》（其二）－ 盧梅坡

《雪梅》（其二）－ 盧梅坡

 

有梅無雪不精神，

有雪無詩俗了人。

日暮詩成天又雪，

與梅並作十分春。

 

A Quatrain by Lu Meipo

(Snow and Wintersweet)

 

Wintersweet will lose spirit sans snowfall,

When snow falls, it dulls if no verse at all.

A snow-evoked verse comes at snowy dusk,

Which with wintersweet will perfect spring’s thrall.
