Lotus - 莲花

Lotus

 

by Yan Du (in Song dynasty)

A pond formed its shape in the dark-green moss
Lotus flowers, standing high-and-low above the green leaves
A lotus blooming in the early morning fog
just as a Queen coming fresh from the bath

 

 

 

< 莲花 > 宋•杜衍
凿破苍苔作小池，芰荷分得绿参差。
晓来一朵烟波上，似画真妃出浴时。

 

 

 

多谢“ 七色土 ”先生在文学城“诗歌论坛”贴出这首“莲花”诗，使在下有机会第一次欣赏到它。

附七色土朋友改动后的译本：

Lotus

A pond, carving its shape in the dark green moss
Lotus flowers, standing high and low above the green leaves
A lotus blooming in the early morning fog
as a Queen fresh from her bath

[蘿莉亞]

喜歡這個，你的蓮花，有種出塵的美！
