《枇杷》 张昱〔元代〕

 

叶底累累黄渐深，煖风四月熟幽林。

记曾摘遍西园树，好似文君取酒金。

 

Loquats (Pipas) by Zhang Yu (Late Yuan Dynasty)

Amongst the leaves, loquats’ yellow deepens in gold,

April breeze ripens the orchards — tranquil yet bold.

Once I did gather them all in the western grove —

Like Wenjun’s storied gold taels from the wine she sold.
