点绛唇 - 谢逸（宋）

金气秋分，风清露冷秋期半。

凉蟾光满，桂子飘香远。

素练宽衣，仙仗明飞观。

霓裳乱，银桥人散，吹彻昭华管。

Golden Autumn Equinox by Xie Yi (Soong Dynasty)

Golden Autumn Equinox is here -

– dew cold, breeze crisp clear,

The cool bright light of the full Silver Sphere,

The vibrant osmanthus scent, far and near.

O, in fancy, I see and hear -

Faeries, dancing in snowy robes, appear,

Anon, on the Silver Bridge, they scatter with cheer,

Yet string music all night long lingers in my ear.

Tr. Ziyuzile

P.S. 也許可以嘗試採用 Spenser Stanza 來英譯這首點絳脣...
