【英译】 Lyrics to the
Imperial Drive Melody (Yan Jidao) South of the main streets
catkins drift over greening trees, like snow they fall all over
spring excursion paths. Blossoms on trees are glamorous and the
clouds light. Under the foliage of trees is an established estate
with a crimson gateway. From its northern loft, where the curtains
are raised high. Directly in sight are the trees south of the main
streets. Against the balustrade in her
languor she lingers. There fall a few evening showers. In previous
years late in spring, he used to rest his horse stamping on mosses.
By a tree of dense foliage and long he there stood. Here fallen
blossoms remain, half extended is the delicate screen hiding view.
Where has the familiar face disappeared to? 【作者简介】
