赠曹雪芹

敦敏

 

碧水青山曲径遐，

薜萝门巷足烟霞。

寻诗人去留僧舍，

卖画钱来付酒家。

燕市狂歌悲遇合，

秦淮残梦忆繁华。

新仇旧恨知多少，

一醉酕醄白眼斜。

 

To Cao Xueqin

Dun Min

 

A long, long winding path leads to green hill and rill;

Ivy leaves and rainbow clouds veil your cottage still.

Gone for poetic verve, in temple cell you stay;

With money earned by pictures sold, for wine you pay.

You croon like mad in northern fair over your fate;

You dream of splendor of Southern River of late.

How much regret of old and how much sorrow new!

Drunken, you look with scorn at the pool world in view.
