对菊

湘云

别圃移来贵比金，一丛浅淡一丛深。

萧疏篱畔科头坐，清冷香中抱膝吟。

数去更无君傲世，看来惟有我知音。

秋光荏苒休辜负，相对原宜惜寸阴。

Gazing at chrysanthemums 

By Xiangyun 

Precious as gold from relocation,

Some plainly shallow some richly deep. 

Sitting alone by desolate fences, 

Reciting lyrics with folding knees. 

Not many who brave the world with pride,

Only I know the tune you're singing.

Pass not easily the autumn light,

Treasure our time of mutual loving.
