唐詩三百首英譯 孟浩然：清明日宴梅道士房

五言律詩

孟浩然

清明日宴梅道士房

林臥愁春盡， 開軒覽物華。

忽逢青鳥使， 邀入赤松家。

丹灶初開火， 仙桃正發花。

童顔若可駐， 何惜醉流霞。

Meng Haoran

AT A BANQUET IN THE HOUSE OF THE TAOIST PRIEST MEI

In my bed among the woods， grieving that spring must end，

I lifted up the curtain on a pathway of flowers，

And a flashing bluebird bade me come

To the dwelling-place of the Red Pine Genie.

……What a flame for his golden crucible ——

Peach-trees magical with buds ！ ——

And for holding boyhood in his face，

The rosy-flowing wine of clouds！
