（古詩英譯）游园不值 - 叶绍翁

游园不值 - 叶绍翁

 

应怜屐齿印苍苔，小扣柴扉久不开。

春色满园关不住，一枝红杏出墙来。

 

Visiting the Garden But being Shut Out by Ye Shao-Weng

 

Knock, knock, but no one unlatches the brushwood door,

Mayhap my clogs could mar the moss he may adore?

The garden’s walls cannot conceal vernal vistas,

A twig of red apricot peeps out to explore.
