唐诗三百首英译 孟浩然：清明日宴梅道士房

五言律诗

孟浩然

清明日宴梅道士房

林卧愁春尽， 开轩览物华。

忽逢青鸟使， 邀入赤松家。

丹灶初开火， 仙桃正发花。

童颜若可驻， 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！
