会稽绝句三首 – （宋）曾鞏

年年谷雨愁春晚，况是江湖两鬓华。

欲载一樽乘兴去，不知何处有残花。

Grain Rain by Zeng Gong (Soong Dynasty)

Spring, so short, is grieved at every Grain Rain,

What is more, earthly trials speed greying my hair.

I’d sail away with a pot of wine, free of chain,

To seek those faded flowers, alas, where?

V2.

Spring, so short, is grieved at every Grain Rain,

What is more, earthly trials speed greying my hair.

I’d sail away with a pot of wine, free of chain,

To seek those faded flowers, yet seek where?
