五言古诗 张九龄 感遇其二
兰叶春葳蕤， 桂华秋皎洁； 欣欣此生意， 自尔为佳节。 谁知林栖者？ 闻风坐相悦， 草木有本心， 何求美人折？
Five-character-ancient-verse Zhang Jiuling
ORCHID AND ORANGE I
Tender orchid-leaves in spring
And cinnamon- blossoms bright in autumn Are as self- contained as life is,
Which conforms them to the seasons.
Yet why will you think that a forest-hermit, Allured by sweet winds and contented with beauty, Would no more ask to-be transplanted
THan Would any other natural flower?
