In Reply to a Poem on a Plane Leaf

Gu Kuang

Upset by warblers warbling and willow fluff a-flying,

You maid confined, your youthful days away you’re sighing.

Yet it isn’t it kind of His Majesty—ne’er to block this brook?

The leaf with your verse may reach one taking pity on you!

(刘国善、王治江、徐树娟等 译)
