84.

《西江月‧寒樓》 一老年人

樂曲連連彈奏，

音符遠遠飄揚。

無求劍客露光芒，

一石投波激盪。

無懼寒江獨釣，

孤舟倒影成雙。

金弓刀劍箭鞭槍，

靜待開樓多創。

Ci No. 84

To the Tune of: Xī Jiāng Yuè: 

“West River Moon”

Title: Hán Lóu: “Cold Mansion”

-- by 一老年人 “A Man of Advanced Year”

-- Translated by Frank C Yue

The lute is a-playing song after song;

Far, far away, the joyful notes drift along.

With the “No-Desire Swordsman’s” 

 talents shown,

It’s like countless ripples from a  stone thrown.

Fishing alone in the cold stream, fear not 

–

With reflection, to be there two boats 

ought.

With “Golden Bow’s” swords, mace, 

spear and arrows,

Open a blog and your Muse will follow.
