詠梅

詠梅

雪入梅林 梅傲雪
風入梅林 梅耐風
韻味適雅士 折在家里奉
梅蕊 銀瓶 幽香送
吐艷華堂人盡碰 身在重重榮譽中
說是詩意重 說是畫意重 誰料難得百日紅
一朝芬芳散 回想似一夢
枯枝泣風裡 空言當初勇
最羨同儕 仍耐凍
果實盈盈 仍耐風
愛極反變害 贊譽不永在 寧願形態不出眾

吐艷華堂人盡碰 身在重重榮譽中
說是詩意重 說是畫意重 誰料難得百日紅
一朝芬芳散 回想似一夢
枯枝泣風裡 空言當初勇
最羨同儕 仍耐凍
果實盈盈 仍耐風
愛極反變害 贊譽不永在 寧願形態不出眾
愛極反變害 贊譽不永在 寧願形態不出眾

Eulogy for the Plum Blossom

Eulogy for the Plum Blossom

Snow enters the plum grove, plum more arrogant than snow
Wind enters the plum grove, plum more resistant than wind
An elegant scholar with refined taste will snap it and bring it home
Plum pistil, silver vase, faint fragrance
Blooming in the grand hall, admired by all, enveloped in layers of honor
Some say its poetic charm is unparalleled, some say its painterly charm is unparalleled, but who would have guessed its crimson beauty would last no more than a hundred days?
Once its fragrance fades, it will be like a dream
Bare branches weeping in the wind, empty words of past glory
I envy my peers who can still endure the cold
Their fruits still full, still enduring the wind
Excessive love turns to harm, praise does not last forever, better to remain unnoticed

Excessive love turns to harm, praise does not last forever, better to remain unnoticed
