Presentiment
預感
Presentiment is that long shadow on the lawn
Indicative that suns go down;
The notice to the startled grass
That darkness is about to pass.
預感--是草坪上--長曳的陰影--
暗示著夕陽西沉--
啟示驚惶的青草
黑暗--行將籠罩--

 The Grey Hairs

The grey hairs growing in great pride,

 They vie with the old man living beside .

 Every hair-thread is a surprise;

Every hair-thread is white as ice .

 The aged ask me , "where do you get the autumn frost ,so early ?"

 My fond mother asks me , "Is it because of your empty belly?"

 The classmates joke with me , "Your hairs are fashionably lovely !"

 The ladies comment on me , "You appear to be sixty . "

白发何争气，将追邻翁貌。 根根惊我眸，丝丝如冰皓。 老者见我道："何染秋霜早？" 慈母见我道："莫是饭不饱？" 同窗见我道："时髦白发好！" 阿娇见我道："此子一何老！"

Before the mirror, At dusk, nearly all grey ones are removed;

 At dawn, many are added ,as it is proved .

Dawn after dawn ,dusk after dusk .

 Nothing but disappointment Of the grey hairs' impossible retirement .

 Even if possible , what would be the difference after ?

So I don't bother .

In this world of being , How many care-free places are existing ?

 Who can enjoy the care-free places?

 Whom can I confide to--the stresses ?

暮镜拔将无，朝来添几许？ 朝朝复朝朝，暮暮还暮暮。 慊慊空自悲，拔之不能去。 能去又如何？再拔也无绪。 浮生天地间，几个为欢处？ 欢处谁人玩，辛楚谁人诉？

 The sad intestines turning like wheels, They circle a thousand times in a while .

Narrow, I can't dissipate the sad feeling ; Wet ,the tears are unrestrainedly rolling .

 The fairly-land hardly come into my dreams .

Most come are evil ,it seems. At midnight ,a good dream is coming .

Yet ,one ,one cry of cuckoo make the awakening.

 Seeking and seeking ,the body is not mine.

Leisurely and leisurely, when will come the time ?

 Chuangtsu dreamed of the skeleton Telling him no more burden in heaven.

 Tsoching ,a Taoist , became a crane ; Wander anywhere he could.
