TUNE: MEASURES AT COURT

朝中措

THE MUME BLOSSOM

梅

Your lonely grace won’t visit Vanity Fair;

幽姿不入少年场?

Silent and sad, you do not care.

无语只凄凉。

Like a wanderer you play your part

一个飘零身世，

With an indifferent heart.

十分冷淡心肠。

In moonlight by the stream,

江头月底，

With new verse and old dream,

新诗旧梦，

I feel the grief your fragrance brings.

孤恨清香。

Uncared for by the vernal breeze on the wing,

任是春风不管，

You are the first to welcome spring.

也曾先识东皇。
