會稽絕句三首 – （宋）曾鞏

 

年年穀雨愁春晚，況是江湖兩鬢華。

欲載一樽乘興去，不知何處有殘花。

 

Grain Rain by Zeng Gong (Soong Dynasty)

 

Spring, so short, is grieved at every Grain Rain,

What is more, earthly trials speed greying my hair.

I’d sail away with a pot of wine, free of chain,

To seek those faded flowers, alas, where?

 

V2.

Spring, so short, is grieved at every Grain Rain,

What is more, earthly trials speed greying my hair.

I’d sail away with a pot of wine, free of chain,

To seek those faded flowers, yet seek where?
