林徽因·《对残枝》英译

梅花你这些残了后的枝条，

是你无诉说的哀愁！

今晚这一阵雨点落过以后，

我关上窗子又要同你分手。

但我幻想夜色安慰你伤心，

下弦月照白了你，最是同情，

我睡了 我的诗记下你的温柔，

你不妨安心放芽去做成绿荫。

To a Withered Branch

Lin Huiyin

A branch of withering plum blossoms

Is your unutterable sorrow!

After a shower of rain tonight,

I close the window to say goodbye to you.

But I imagine the evening will solace to you,

The most sympathetic waning moon shines on you.

Fallen asleep, I put down your gentleness in my poem,

You might be budding to make a green shade.
