江城子•落花
顾太清

花开花落一年中，
惜残红，
怨东风。
恼煞纷纷，
如雪扑帘栊。
坐对飞花花事了，
春又去，
太匆匆。

惜花有恨与谁同？
晓妆慵，
忒愁侬。
燕子来时，
红雨已濛濛。
尽有春愁衔不去，
无端底，
是游蜂。

Jiang cheng zi: Fallen Flowers
Gu Taiqing

Flowers bloom, flowers fall, all in the same year.
I pity the faded reds
And blame the east wind,
They vex me so, these fallen petals aplenty;
Like snow flurries pelting at the curtained window.
o sit watching whirling blossoms flower-gazing time is past.
Spring again is gone
Far too hastily!

With whom can I share my grief in pitying the flowers?
Too lazy for my morning make-up,
So overpowering is my sorrow.
When the swallows return,
A crimson shower falling east of my painted chamber.
Lying everywhere, the spring grief cannot be pecked away;
So utterly thoughtless
Are the wandering honeybees.
（Irving Y. Lo 译）
