Li Chongyuan: The Prince Recalled ~ 《忆王孙·秋词》 李重元 with English Translations

李重元的《忆王孙》原来是有春、夏、秋、冬四季词的,都是以女子的口吻述说四季景色,抒发相应的情感。 《忆王孙·秋词》 李重元 飕飕风冷荻花秋, 明月斜侵独倚楼。 十二珠帘不上钩, 黯凝眸, 一点渔灯古渡头。 The Prince Recalled Song of Autumn Reed catkins waft when soughs cold autumn wind in gales; The bright moon slants when alone I lean on the rails. Twelve hooks hang idle with pearled curtains not uprolled, I gaze with grief untold On a dot of fishing lantern at the ferry old.

Li Chongyuan: The Prince Recalled Song of Winter ~ 《忆王孙·冬词》 李重 元 with English Translations

李重元的《忆王孙》原来是有春、夏、秋、冬四季词的,都是以女子的口吻述说四季景色,抒发相应的情感。 《忆王孙·冬词》 李重元 彤云风扫雪初晴, 天外孤鸿三两声。 独拥寒衾不忍听, 月笼明, 窗外梅花瘦影横。 The Prince Recalled Song of Winter The wind has swept away dark snow and cloud on high; Two or three wild geese sing lonely songs in the sky. Alone in my cold quilt, how can I bear their cry! The moon is bright, How slender are windowside mume blossoms in sight!

The sinking plums and floating melons are ice-cool. In my square bamboo bed, My needlework put away, I take a long long nap on the noonday.
