論詩三十首（二十五）金 – 元好問

 

乱后玄都失古基，看花诗在只堪悲。

刘郎也是人间客，枉向春风怨兔葵。

 

A Quatrain by Yuan Hao-wen (Jin Dynasty)

 

Xuan Du Temple lies in ruins as the turmoil ends,

To which none but grief his flower-viewing verse lends.

Liu Yu-xi was also but a mortal being —

Folly to chide why hare’s ear flowers spring wind sends.

 

Tr. Ziyuzile
