木兰花慢.蒲公英

樊功生

记南坡野处，众眉举，等春风。

不待百花开，何须斗艳，嫣白稍红。

朦胧。

恰车马过，怨年华岁月太匆匆。

谁伴婵娟弄舞，好风载我西东。

征蓬。

欲远还休，难为事，竟千重。

任四海三江，烟波浩淼，依旧蓑翁。

惊鸿。

纵怀怅惘，泣山峦日暮掩梧桐。

犹自身轻漫卷，闲云散去皆空。

（词林正韵  柳永体）

Dandalion

By Ken Fan 

On that deserted south slope, 

as recalled, 

Brows are up,

For the spring breeze, 

Ever so peaceful.

No need for the crowded blossom,

And competitions,

Simply pinkish pale.

Carts and horses pass,

And years go by still. 

The sail is raised, 

Yet it pauses for the voyage.

Thousands and more, 

All the obstacles. 

Braving the oceans and rivers, 

Is the old fisherman, 

unmoved,

Despite high waves and fast gale. 

Swans awakened, 

Surveying around with nameless melancholy, 

Saddened by the maple leaves amid darkening sunset and chill. 

Ever so light and lofty, 

Gliding away with aimless clouds, 

Only nothingness there is at all.
