如梦令
昨夜雨疏风骤,
浓睡不消残酒。
试问卷帘人,
却道海棠依旧。
知否?知否?
应是绿肥红瘦。
To the Tune of Like a Dream
Last night a sprinkling of rain,
a violent wind.
After a deep sleep, still not recovered
from the lingering effect of wine,
I inquired of the one rolling up the screen;
But the answer came: "The cherry-apple blossoms
are still the same."
"Oh, don't you know, don't you know?
The red must be getting thin,
while the green is becoming plump."
