論詩三十首（十六）金 – 元好問

 

切切秋虫万古情，灯前山鬼泪纵横。

鉴湖春好无人赋，岸夹桃花锦浪生。

 

A Quatrain by Yuan Hao-wen (Jin Dynasty)

 

The autumn cricket chirps — his aeon-echoed woe,

Afore the lamp, the mountain ghost lets his tears flow.

The spring-kissed Mirror Lake, no fairy lines to praise

But “peach-embraced banks, petal-silken ripples glow”.

 

Tr. Ziyuzile
