春望詞 （I）－ 薛濤

春望詞 （I）－ 薛濤

 

花開不同賞，花落不同悲。

欲問相思處，花開花落時。

 

A Quatrain by Xue Tao

(A Verse of Vernal Vista)

 

Where wert thou when I beheld blossoms bloom?

Where wert thou when I wept for their dark doom?

Thou ask’st me when I think on thee the most —

When blossoms blush, or frown into grim gloom.
