虞美人-Pretty Lady Yu

 

*己亥年大寒之夕于大略湖畔

雪花枫叶西郊道

来去无相告

十年孤迹拾孤心

老大情怀空载又沉沉

林间小径拈红豆

日暮香盈袖

模糊月色乱霜笺

不展寒梅伫立画堂前

Pretty Lady Yu（Yu Meiren)

*By the Lake Ontario on the Night of Major Cold, 2019

 

Snowflakes and maple leaves on the western lane,
Coming and going—no word, no sign.
Ten years a lonely trace, gathering a lonely heart,
Aged sentiments, heavy and vain.

 

Picking red beans on the woodland trail,
At dusk, my sleeves brim with fragrance tale.
Blurred moonlight scatters on such misty notes,

The winter plum, unopened, waits by my picturesque studio.
