GRIEF IN SPRING

春怨

Alone I stroll and sit,

獨行獨坐，

Alone I chant and thyme, and still alone I sleep.

獨唱獨酬還獨臥。

Standing, I feel unfit.

佇立傷神，

What can I do when cold spring torments me to weep!

無奈春寒著摸人。

Is grief beyond belief?

此情誰見？

My neglected dress is half wet with tears in streams.

淚洗殘妝無一半。

Illness comes after grief;

愁病相仍，

The cold lamp dying out, I can’t even have dreams.

剔盡寒燈夢不成。
