《枇杷》 張昱〔元代〕

 

葉底累累黃漸深，煖風四月熟幽林。

記曾摘遍西園樹，好似文君取酒金。

 

Loquats (Pipas) by Zhang Yu (Late Yuan Dynasty)

Amongst the leaves, loquats’ yellow deepens in gold,

April breeze ripens the orchards — tranquil yet bold.

Once I did gather them all in the western grove —

Like Wenjun’s storied gold taels from the wine she sold.
