春望词 （I）－ 薛涛

春望词 （I）－ 薛涛

 

花开不同赏，花落不同悲。

欲问相思处，花开花落时。

 

A Quatrain by Xue Tao

(A Verse of Vernal Vista)

 

Where wert thou when I beheld blossoms bloom?

Where wert thou when I wept for their dark doom?

Thou ask’st me when I think on thee the most —

When blossoms blush, or frown into grim gloom.
