访菊

宝玉

閒趁霜晴試一遊，酒杯藥盞莫淹留。

霜前月下誰家種？檻外籬邊何處秋？

蠟屐遠來情得得，冷吟不盡興悠悠。

黃花若解憐詩客，休負今朝掛杖頭。

Visiting chrysanthemum

By Baoyu 

Take an excursion on a day so fine, 

No need to stay in for illness and wine. 

Whose flowers are under the frosty moon? 

Outside the gate and fences shines the autumn. 

The wooden sandels make me feel so right, 

Cold breath won't my spirit unfairly hide. 

Could my poems be shared by yellow daisies, 

Such a bright morning should never be wasted.
