（古詩詞英譯） 墨梅 – (元）王冕

墨梅  – (元）王冕

 

吾家洗砚池头树，个个花开淡墨痕。

不要人夸好颜色，只留清气满乾坤。

 

A Quatrain by Wang Mian (Yuan dynasty)

(Plum Blossom Tree in Ink Painting)

 

A tree stands by my inkstone-cleaning pool,

Each bloom blows with its own soft inky shade.

They seek no one to extol their looks cool,

But wish their elegant scent would ne'er fade.

 

Tr. Ziyuzile
