Translations
(Shuangtiao 雙調 : Panfei qu 潘妃曲)
Untitled
Green willows with a wide flowing wind;
Peach and plum vie to shed blossoms.
The swallows are busy,
Pair after pair with bits of nest
Sport in the painted eaves.
Yellow willow leaves
Fine enough for a room’s screen painting.
(Shuangtiao 雙調 : Panfei qu 潘妃曲)
Untitled
Depressed I climb the high tower to gaze out;
Green lotus leaves and red blossoms everywhere.
Summer days long
As Xuan plants and pomegranate flowers
Vie for fragrance.
Green gauze windows,
Fine enough for a room’s screen painting.
