花枝草蔓眼中开,小白长红越女腮。
可怜日暮嫣香落,嫁与春风不用媒。
Translated by 康赛欧
《Thirteen Poems of the South Garden》by Li, He
Part 1
Flowers on branches and amid grass in my sight,
Various colorful blooms are like beauties' cheeks.
Sorrowfully, fragrant and faded petals fall at twilight,
They are gone by the spring breeze at will.
百度词句注释:

百度白话译文:
其一
枝头上,草蔓中,眼前百花盛开,有大有小,有白有红,恰如美女的香腮。
可惜到了黄昏,娇艳芳香的花儿凋零,随着春风乱飞,像草草嫁出的女儿连媒人也不用。
