夜月星河 桃花滿樹入眸紅 煙雨江南十里濛 Peach flow'rs so adorn'd the whole tree

《江南春曉》夜月星河

      桃花滿樹入眸紅，
      煙雨江南十里濛；
      殘月曉風楊柳岸，
      輕舟一葉蕩湖中。

28-Character Quatrain: 
"Jiāngnán Dawn in Spring"
-- by 夜月星河  'Night Moon Starry River'
-- Translated by Frank C Yue

Peach flow'rs so adorn'd the whole tree,
Your bright eyes all pink before me!
O South of the River smoke and rain,
One could try to see for miles -- in vain.

Dawn breeze: the Moon waning is seen
Above the banks with willows green.
A tiny boat -- just like a leave --
At the lake centre drifts and weaves.

      靜碧空懸冷月明，

      玉枝疏影耀冰晶；

      瓊瑤遍野嚴冬色，

      雪月交輝萬里情。

"28-Character (7-character x 4 lines) Quatrain":
'The Snow, the Moon & M’Feelings'
-- by 一老年人 'A Man of Advanced Years'
-- Translated by Frank C Yue

In the still, clear blue hanging,

The cold Moon bright

On jade branches, few shadows, shining;

It is all crystal ice in sight.

The countryside cover’d in deep snows,

Ev'rything ev'rywhere in white shows.

Reflected on snow the soft moon-light

To you far’way, let m’feelings take flight. 

一老年人日暮餘暉彩染天，閑遊帆蕩愛琴前 In late evening the Sun's rays last

111.《七絕‧愛琴揚帆》

    日暮餘暉彩染天，

    閑遊帆蕩愛琴前；

    醉人夕景紅如酒，

    盡享逍遙樂似仙。

Qī Jué ‧ Ai Qín Yáng Fān:
"28-Character (7-character x 4 lines) Quatrain":
'My Love's Qin & My Full Sail'
-- by 一老年人 'A Man of Advanced Years'
-- Translated by Frank C Yue  
    (Interpretative version,does not reflect 
       the poet's original sentiments)

In late evening the Sun's rays last

Taint the sky red, gold and hues more;

Leisurely, I sail the boat past

You, M'Love, playing your qin on the shore.

Free and to the brim, m'self enjoying --

The scene at sunset so enchanting,

One would be drunk as if by red wine.

I'm happy like a'immortal, with Thine!

<一老年人:
 

羡魚兄，欣賞英譯佳作！

詩中 “愛琴” 指愛琴海。

多謝欣賞及翻譯拙作！>

<無求劍客:

羡魚兄，老年人兄， 早安。

《七絕‧愛琴揚帆》寫景於在下一幅黄昏照片，

《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。

 "Setting-Sun Flying Catkins"
-- by 一老年人 'A Man of Advanced Years'
-- Translated by Frank C Yue

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.

一老年人 靜聽長天雁過聲 幾回孤獨守空亭 Quietly, I listen to the passing geese's call

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？

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

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。


Qī Jué ‧ Xī Hú:
"28-Character (7-character x 4 lines) Quatrain": 
"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!

一老年人 暴雨風雷動地鳴 炎陽高掛百爭榮 Rains, Gusts, Lightnings and Thunders

169.《漁歌子‧夏日景情》一老年人

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。

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

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.
