韩翃: 寒食/ han hong: after the day of no fire

寒食

韩翃

春城无处不飞花， 寒食东风御柳斜。

日暮汉宫传蜡烛， 轻烟散入五侯家。

　

after the day of no fire

han hong

petals of spring fly all through the city

from the wind in the willows of the imperial river.

and at dusk, from the palace, candles are given out

to light first the mansions of the five great lords.
