刘秉忠·《干荷叶》（一）英译

干荷叶，
色苍苍，
老柄风摇荡。
减了清香，
越添黄。
都因昨夜一场霜，
寂寞在秋江上。

Untitled
to the tune of Dry Lotus Leaves

Ling Bingzhong

Dry lotus leaves,
Dark and brown,
Shaking in the wind its bony stalk long,
Her color is deepened and balm gone.
The cause?
Last night by frost bound,
She lonely shivers in the autumn pond.

（辜正坤 译）
