(Tang) Wang Wei*
To Remind You of Me

In the south the red berries grow,
When it's springtime,
On the branches there might be a few.

Pick as much as you could,
To remind you of me,
For it most likely would.

*Wang Wei,701-761, a Chinese poet during Tang dynasty.

Translations are a real talent and there's quite a future there for the bi-lingual attuned to poetry's nuances. Rhyming must be exremely difficult (I think of Robert Pinsky's translation of "The Inferno of Dante") Looking forward to more.

Wang Wei
(Gary Blankenship, Translator)

Deer Park

In the empty mountains, no one;
but the sound of men echoes.
Light returns to the dark forest
to illuminate moss and leaf.

Bamboo Grove

Alone in a bamboo thicket,
I strum a guitar and sing.
In this dark wood, no one knows me;
my company the moon’s reflection.

Luan House Rapids

Autumn rain and wind gusts
strike the boulders below.
The rapids’ waves collide -
startled egrets rise, settle.

Hsin-i Village

From bud to the trumpet blossom,
scarlet petals cover the mountain path.
The hut streamside abandoned,
a shrub blooms, sheds, blooms again.

Lily Magnolia Enclosure

Evening’s light falls on autumn hills.
As bird after bird follows in flight.
Fisher green colors the cool air.
In the day’s late mist, there is no rest.
