唐诗英译|| 元稹《菊花》Chrysanthemums

                  《菊花》

                  元稹（唐）

秋丛绕舍似陶家， 遍绕篱边日渐斜。

不是花中偏爱菊， 此花开尽更无花。

      Chrysanthemums

    Translated by Xuemei 2019.08.19

As if poet Tao’s yard, mine has chrysanthemums all around.

Lingering about and admiring them, I hardly notice the sundown.

Not that I favor chrysanthemums over flowers of another kind.

When these are gone, no decent blooms will I ever find.

As if Tao’s yard, mine has chrysanthemums all around.

Lingering in admiration, I hardly notice the sundown.

Not I favor them over flowers of another kind；

Only when they wilt, no blooms will I ever find.
