南京莫愁湖垂丝海棠
东风袅袅泛崇光,
香雾空蒙月转廊。
只恐夜深花睡去,
故烧高烛照红妆。
The gentle spring breeze stirs,
rippling the blossoms' radiant glow; fragrant mist drifts in the hazy moonlight as the moon moves through the corridor.
Fearing the flowers might fall asleep
deep into the night,
I light a tall candle to illuminate
their rosy beauty.
