庭中有奇树

无名氏

庭中有奇树,

绿叶发华滋。

攀条折其荣,

将以遗所思。

馨香盈怀袖[1],

路远莫致之[2]。

此物何足贡,

但感别经时[3]。

注释:

[1] 盈怀袖:充满衣服的襟袖之间。

[2] 致之:送到,这句是说因为路远不能送到给他。

[3] 经时:很长时间。

A Rare Tree Stands in Courtyard Quiet

Anonymous

A rare tree stands in courtyard quiet;

Among green leaves flowers run riot.

I bend a branch and pluck its bloom

To send to my far-off dear groom.

Its fragrance fills my breast and sleeves;

Unsent so far away, it grieves.

I value not the bloom sweet-hearted,

But I am grieved so long we’ve parted.
