曹组·《点绛唇》英译

云透斜阳，

半楼红影明窗户。

暮山无数。

归雁愁远去。

十里平芜，

花远重重树。

空凝伫。

故人何处？

可惜春将暮。

Roughed Lips

Cao Zu

Clouds pierced by slanting sunlight,

Red shadows veil half my bower with windows bright.

Hills on hills in twilight

Grieve the returning wild geese in flight.

For miles and miles stretches the wild plain;

Beyond the far-off flowers woods on woods extend.

I stand an gaze in vain.

Where is my old friend?

How I regret spring will soon end!
