红楼梦里黛玉的三首菊花诗确实是精华，这里先欣赏一下“咏菊”。

咏菊

黛玉

无赖诗魔昏晓侵，绕篱欹石自沉音。

毫端蕴秀临霜写，口齿噙香对月吟。

满纸自怜题素怨，片言谁解诉秋心？

一从陶令平章后，千古高风说到今。

Ode to Chrysanthemum

By Daiyu 

Poetic impulses disturb the maiden day and night,

Wander around fences and ponder by rock side. 

Nib of brush invites wit amid blossom,

Sweet lips recite verses towards moonlight.

White paper is filled with wretched self-pity,

Who could see that tears in this soul hide? 

Ever since Mr. Tao's memerable praises,

Centuries have passed with thy poise and pride.
