元明清诗歌汉译英赏析09：On Seeing The Mume Flower观梅有感-刘因(中英双语)

(9) On Seeing The Mume Flower

观梅有感

Liu Yin (1240-1293)

刘因

The east wind blows up war dust and sand more and more;

东风吹落战尘沙，

I dream of mume-bloom-lover in his lakeside bower.

梦想西湖处士家。

Spring beauty wanes, I fear, on southern rivershore;

只恐江南春意减，

My heart longs for the poet more than for the flower.

此心元不为梅花。
