Translated by Albert Kung
(Jan 30, 2022)

如是春风吹绿，
分香云袖轻梭。
塘深龟尽少青荷。
月光几重意，
入韵化清歌。
like the vernal breeze greening turf
wafting sleeve fragrance surf
lilies flown turtles gone a deep lonely pond
flirting moon whiffing wheeze
shadowing rhythm melodic tease

一命生涯有数，
诚言其奈天何。
文人不幸古来多。
情知都是梦，
晚醒又如何？
striving life for whom to tell
for whom heaven to yell
abundant pundits a history yield 
passions like dreams still
why not wake up till?
