鹧鸪天 桂花 – 李清照

暗淡轻黄体性柔，
情疏迹远只香留。
何须浅碧深红色，
自是花中第一流。
梅定妒，菊应羞，
画阑开处冠中秋。
骚人可煞无情思，
何事当年不见收。

Osmanthus Flower by Li Qingzhao

Pale yellow, you look serene with soft glow,
Demure, taintless, sweet scent spreads, high and low.
Midst all flowers, you outshine your compeers,
Why need teal or crimson to help your show?
You make plum blossoms so green-eyed,
And chrysanthmums too shy to blow.
You are the garden queen — autumn lauds so!
Lisao Epic seemed muse-less to shun you,
Else why no grace on you did it bestow?
