老人 詩詞雙回文體一詩四讀 蓮紅水綠垂堤柳 Amid the lotus red and waters green

一老年人  詩詞雙回文體 ‧ 一詩四讀

1.《七律‧夏岸夕賞》


蓮紅水綠垂堤柳，  眺倚欄杆瘦影投。
前岸泛波流落日，  淡金浮碧映高樓。

煙輕遠岫層林寂，  渡野連舟舶陣稠。
鵑過瞬空幽景美，  韻陽昏夕賞悠悠。

“Admiring Sunset at Summer Bank” 
-- by 一老年人 'A Man of Advanced Years'
-- Translated by Frank C Yue

Amid the lotus red and waters green,
Along the bank there stand hanging willows.
Looking afar, on the railing we lean;
Mimicking our moves lie the long shadows.
Beyond the shore, waves are gently rolling;
Ever so slowly, the Sun is setting.
Colours of pretty light gold, floating green –
Glittering on the tall mansions are seen.
                
Thin haze and smoke just veil the distant hills;
Layers upon layers of woods so still.
By the country ferry, moored side by side,
The waves the long formation of boats ride.
In a jiffy, a-flying past some magpies
Right across the serene beautiful skies.   
O! Truly a wondrous sight -- (my friend) --    
I’m admiring this with my heart without end!


the translator won't do the other 3 renditions (due to his limited abilities). in any case, the main theme remains the same.

2. 回讀為另一首《七律‧夏岸夕賞》：

悠悠賞夕昏陽韻，美景幽空瞬過鵑。
稠陣舶舟連野渡，寂林層岫遠輕煙。

樓高映碧浮金淡，日落流波泛岸前。
投影瘦杆欄倚眺，柳堤垂綠水紅蓮。

3. 第一首七律順讀更改標點而不改字，成詞一首：

《虞美人‧夏岸夕賞》

蓮紅水綠垂堤柳，眺倚欄杆瘦。
影投前岸泛波流，落日淡金浮碧映高樓。

煙輕遠岫層林寂，渡野連舟舶。
陣稠鵑過瞬空幽，景美韻陽昏夕賞悠悠。

4. 上首詞回讀又成 另一首《虞美人‧夏岸夕賞》：

悠悠賞夕昏陽韻，美景幽空瞬。
過鵑稠陣舶舟連，野渡寂林層岫遠輕煙。

樓高映碧浮金淡，日落流波泛。
岸前投影瘦杆欄，倚眺柳堤垂綠水紅蓮。
