One Old Man:By The Breeze The Fragrance Carried Far; Luxuriant The Apricot Flow`rs In March一老年人 清香送 三月杏花豐 Poem by Frank Yue

TUNE: "Remembering Jiangnan" Ci (Song)
TITLE: "Apricot Blossoms"
-by One Old Man
-Translated by Frank C Yue

By the breeze the fragrance carried far;
Luxuriant the apricot flow`rs in March.
When they first bloom they fill up the branch whole;
Their colour better than fire, like so.

Dressed just simply,
Their red is not loud blatantly.
When the apricotblossoms fall
Following the wind they`re no more.

《憶江南~杏花》一老年人

清香送，

三月杏花豐。

初發壓枝嫣勝火，

終裝裹素脫脂紅。

韻落影隨風。
