（古詩英譯）鹧鸪天 – 贺铸

鹧鸪天 – 贺铸

 

重过阊门万事非，

同来何事不同归？

梧桐半死清霜后，

头白鸳鸯失伴飞。

原上草，露初晞。

旧栖新垅两依依。

空床卧听南窗雨，

谁复挑灯夜补衣？

 

A Verse by He Zhu

 

Again in Suzhou — ah! all changed, I feel aghast,

“Why came we here together, now apart so vast?”

Although the Wutong stands, a moiety frost-slain,

Twain white-haired lovebirds in flight, one away hath passed.  

Dawn-lit dew on the steppe grass flees so fast,

Our old house, thy new grave, enduring love must last.

In lonely bed, I hark rain on the southern sill,

“Ah, who shall mend my robe by lamp?” My heart doth cast...
