《七絕‧落日飛絮》一老年人
     
     落日依山暮漸濃，
     金光萬度映西空；
     瞬間沙起急風湧，
     柳絮飛來片片紅。

-- by 一老年人 'A Man of Advanced Years'

Setting Sun clings to mountains as thickens 
                                               the haze fountain,
Now myriad rays of liquid gold just smelt the 
                                                   West sky whole.

Sand blown up in a jiffy, gusts rush in in a hurry,
The flying willow catkins fine, each puffy 
                                                    seed's red dyed.

168.《漁歌子‧孤亭》一老年人

靜聽長天雁過聲，幾回孤獨守空亭。

朝霧寂，晚霞明，誰能感受此心情？

Quietly, I listen to the passing geese's call
                          Across the skies long;
I cannot recall how many times in all
       I've waited at the pavilion alone.

Lonesome is the mist in the mornings,
And the glowing cloud in the e'enings --
       O Who, who could feel ever
       The pains of Two-Hearts sever'd?

163.  《七絕‧西湖》一老年人

           楊柳桃花間翠紅，
           蘇堤煙雨遠山濛；
           佳人為伴西湖岸，
           更勝桃源仙境中。

"West Lake"
-- by 一老年人 'A Man of Advanced Years'
-- Translated by Frank C Yue

Peach flow'rs and the willows present 
                                    bands of red and green;
Hazy banks and distant hills in rain 
                                           and smoke are seen.
At the West Lake-shore, soft my Beauty 
                                                 naps on my side,
Were my wish granted, I would not 
                                                 ask for Paradise!

暴雨風雷動地鳴，炎陽高掛百爭榮。

雲白白，樹菁菁，紅蓮碧水笑盈盈。

Rains, Gusts, Lightnings and Thunders --

         They all come in majesty:
The Ground's shaken, torn there-under! 

The Fire Ball hangs high --

   All Flow'rs compete in vanity --

For his rays from the sky!

The white, white Clouds 

                              float by above,

The lush, lush green Trees exhale love.

On emerald Water, Lilies pink

Are smiling amid rippling rings.

   《七絕‧晨》一老年人

      薄霧飄飄山隱隱，
      吱吱晨鳥唱閑悠；
      杜鵑壓艷漫坡彩，
      天賴隨風林更幽。

-- by 一老年人 'A Man of Advanced Years'
-- Translated by Frank C Yue

Shifting, shifting is the haze light,
Hiding, hiding the hills from sight.
      Leisurely, the birds a-tweeting,
      “Early breakfast we’re eating!”

Brilliant the azaleas pink and red
       On the slopes brighter than others.
Nature’s sounds borne by the wind, it’s said,
        Makes the still woods more serene rather.

一老年人 江，寂寂孤翁釣雪霜。The river, upon – Quietly, a man alone

《十六字令 ‧ 江》 一老年人

       江，

       寂寂孤翁釣雪霜。
       誰將會， 肩並把詩揚？

The river, upon –

Quietly, a man alone
Casts a fish line long
Amid the sleet and snow.
O! Up beside him who would show
Writing poems to carry on?

一老年人 彈劍狂歌詩網留，有誰知我幾時休？‘Clicking’ the sword, singing madly, ‘Clicking’ the sword

175.《七絕‧狂歌》一老年人

     彈劍狂歌詩網留，

     有誰知我幾時休？

     光陰飛逝人何在？

     舊憾柔情總帶愁。

'Mad Songs'
-- by 一老年人 'A Man of Advanced Years'
-- Translated by Frank C Yue

‘Clicking’ the sword, singing madly,

         I post on the ‘net’ my poems best.

         Who’d know when I’ll be put to rest?

With Time flying past so quickly,

Where’re some of the people I know?

         Bygone laments and tend'rness –

         (But with no chance of redress) –

Leave behind traces of sorrow.
