老人回文詩 春山鎖霧寂林幽 野遍紅娟伴景遊 Locked by the mist, in the Spring hills


《七絕‧春日早遊》一老年人 七絶回文詩


    春山鎖霧寂林

    野遍紅娟伴景

    茵草滿坡漫翠綠,

    晨光沾露閃珠

Locked by the mist, in the Spring hills

The serene woods are quiet and still.

Red azaleas in the country-side

Are there to greet my sightseeing eyes.


The slopes the soft grass is carpeting;

The emerald grass is so soothing.

Through morning light on dewdrops 

sparkling,

Many a shiny pearl is falling!  



  詩可回讀成另一七絕:


    流珠閃露沾光

    綠翠漫坡滿草

    遊景伴娟紅遍野,

    幽林寂霧鎖山

The rolling pearls and sparkling dew
Lend splendour more to the morning hues;
Flooding all the slopes is wavy green –
Soft green, green grass that fills up the scene.

Trekking through these hills and rills fine,
The pretty, pink azaleas are mine!
Serene woods locked by the fog fountains –
Being locked up too are the Spring mountains.
