卜算子

【作者】曹组 

松竹翠萝寒，迟日江山暮。幽径无人独自芳，此恨凭谁诉。

似共梅花语。尚有寻芳侣。着意闻时不肯香，香在无心处。

Song of Divination

Cao Zu

You are cold among pines, bamboos and vines

When over the land the setting sun shines

Alone you are fragrant on a lonely lane

To whom of our loneliness can you complain

With the mume blossoms you may speak

Whom lovers of flowers might seek

But you would not exude fragrance to please

It can’t be sought for as the breeze
