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。
Tune: Like a Dream Li Qingzhao
Last night the wind was strong and rain was fine;
Sound sleep did not dispel the aftertaste of wine.
I ask the maid who's rolling up the screen;
"The same crab-apple tree," she says, "is seen."
"Don't you know? Don't you know?
The red should languish and the green must grow?"
(Translated by Xu Yuanchong)
