欧阳修：采桑子
Ouyang Xiu (1007-1072): to the tune "Plucking mulberry leafs"

群芳过后西湖好，狼藉残红，
When the many scents are gone, the West Lake (of Yichuan) is charming, all over a little red is left.

飞絮蒙蒙，垂柳阑干尽日风。
Floating fluffs blur the air, fencelike willow twigs catch the wind and rain.

笙歌散尽游人去，始觉春空，
The airs of a panpipe accompany traveling people, reminding them that spring is gone.

垂下帘栊，双燕归来细雨中。
The window curtains hanging down, while swallow pairs turn back in drizzling rain.
