1.孔紹安《侍宴詠石榴》

可惜庭中樹，移根逐漢臣。

只為來時晚，花開不及春。

Odeto Pomegranate at Royal Banquet

Whatgrieves the tree in royal yard,

Bornehere by Han envoy’s toil and ward.

Itsadvent lagged behind spring’s prime,

Itblooms when spring has passed its time.

2.宋之問《玩郡齋海榴》

澤國韶氣早，開簾預熏風。

海榴開幾許，留待外賓同。

日暖珠房坼，霜繁錦萼紅。

寧知安石意，留賞意無窮。

Playingwith Sea Pomegranate in Prefect’s Study

BySong Zhiwen / Tr. Wang Yongli

Inmarshy realms spring comes with breath so early mild,

Iraise the blind to welcome warm wind soft and wild.

Howmany blooms the sea pomegranate doth unfold?

Ikeep their bloom for foreign guests to view and hold.

Thesun’s mild warmth makesjewelled fruit-cases split apart,

Thickfrosty bloom dyes brocade calyx crimson-heart.

Whocan perceive the hidden mood of Master Anshi?

Delightof lingering to admire shall never die.

3.李白《詠鄰女東窗海石榴》

魯女東窗下，海榴世所希。

珊瑚映綠水，未足比光輝。

清香隨風發，落日好鳥歸。

愿為東南枝，低舉拂羅衣。

無由共攀折，引領望金扉。

Tothe Pomegranate by a Neighbor’s Eastern Window

LiBai / Tr. Wang Yongli

Beneatheast casement dwells the maid of Lu,

Hersea pomegranate all rare excels in view.

Thecoral bathed in green water’s lucent glow

Cannever match the radiant bloom’s soft throw.

Itspure fragrance drifts on gentle vernal air,

Atsunset homing birds find rest and shelter there.

Oto be that southeast bough that bends low,

Tobrush her silken robe while soft winds sway slow!

Nowarrant to pluck blossoms by her side,

Icrane my neck toward her gilded door open wide.

4.韋應物《移海榴》

葉有苦寒色，山中霜雪多。

雖此蒙陽景，移根意若何。

Transplantingthe Sea Pomegranate

ByWei Yingwu / Tr. Wang Yongli

Itsleaves retain the tint of bitter cold,

Wheremountain slopes with frost and snow unfold.

Thoughbasking now beneath the sun’s soft ray,

Whatgrieves the root torn from its native clay?

5.柳宗元《新植海石榴》

弱植不盈尺，遠意駐蓬瀛。

月寒空階曙，幽夢彩云生。

糞壤擢珠樹，莓苔插瓊英。

芳根閟顏色，徂歲為誰榮。

Newly-PlantedSea Pomegranate

ByLiu Zongyuan / Tr. Wang Yongli

Atender sapling scarce a foot in height,

Itslonging soul clings to Penglai’s fairy site.

Coldmoon bathes bare stone steps at dawn’s pale glow,

Softrosy clouds unfold within its secret dream’s slow flow.

Fromfertile loam ascends the pearl-tree’s shoot,

Midmossy banks spring forth jade blossoms fine and fruit.

Itsfragrant roots lock up its latent grace;

Forwhom to bloom while fleeting years efface?

6.韓愈《題張十一旅舍三詠·榴花》

五月榴花照眼明，枝間時見子初成。

可憐此地無車馬，顛倒青苔落絳英。

PomegranateBlooms at Zhang’s Travelling Lodge

Infifth moon’s glow, bright bloomsdazzle the eye;

Youngfruits peep forth where leafy branches lie.

Alas,no carriage comes, no horseman nigh—

Ontangled moss the crimson petals sigh.

7.白居易《題山石榴花》

一叢千朵壓闌干，翦碎紅綃卻作團。

風裊舞腰香不盡，露銷妝臉淚新干。

薔薇帶刺攀應懶，菡萏生泥玩亦難。

爭及此花檐戶下，任人采弄盡人看。

Onthe Mountain Pomegranate Flower

ByBai Juyi / Tr. Wang Yongli

Athousand blooms bend low to weigh the rail,

Asshredded crimson silk is rolled to round array.

Softwind sways dancing waists with scent ne’er to fail,

Dewdoth fade painted cheeks where fresh tears decay.

Thorn-fringedrose deters all hands from climbing near,

Mud-bornlotus forbids fond sport by water side.

Whatbloom beneath the eaves with it can compare?

Freeto be plucked, and all may gaze their fill with pride.

8.元稹《石榴花》

寥落山榴深映葉，紅霞淺帶碧霄云。

曲塵枝下年年見，別似衣裳不似裙。

PomegranateBlossoms

ByYuan Zhen / Tr. Wang Yongli

Sparseblooms lurk deep where leafy screens inclose,

Likerosy clouds suffusing turquoise heaven’s glow.

Beneathdust-tawny boughs each year their grace unclose;

Theysuit long robes, yet never match a skirt’s soft throw.

9.李商隱《石榴》

榴枝婀娜榴實繁，榴膜輕明榴子鮮。

可羨瑤池碧桃樹，碧桃紅頰一千年。

Pomegranate

byLi Shangyin / Tr. Wang Yongli

Litheboughs in grace bear fruits in clustered store,

Thinpellicle shines bright where plump fresh seeds abide.

Ienvy jasper-peach by Jade Pool’s enchanted shore,

Whoserosy cheeks endure full thousand years beside.

10.皮日休《石榴歌》

蟬噪秋枝槐葉黃，石榴香老愁寒霜。

龍鱗翠殼流寶環，珍珠夜露膚潦光。

可惜迢迢玉盤實，幾回金戟倚殘陽。

Songof the Pomegranate

ByPi Rixiu / Tr. Wang Yongli

Cicadasdrone on autumn boughs, locust leaves turn sere and gold,

Thepomegranate’s aged perfume dreadsthe biting frosty cold.

Dragon-scalegreen husk enwreaths its gems in circling ring,

Pearlseeds steeped in nightly dew with sleek bright luster cling.

Alasthose jade-round fruits remote, far out of reach to hold,

Oftleans the gilded halberd’s frame against thedying sun’s soft gold.

11.劉言史《山寺看海榴花》

琉璃地上紺宮新，削翠凝紅拂世塵。

夜久月明人去盡，艷花猶照佛前身。

ViewingPomegranate Blooms in Mountain Temple

ByLiu Yanshi / Tr. Wang Yongli

Onglazed ground stands the indigo shrine newly arrayed,

Chiselledgreen and clustered red sweep mortal dust away.

Latemoon hangs high when every guest has left the glade,

Brightblossoms still illume the Buddha’s sacred clay.

12.黃滔《奉和文堯對庭前千葉石榴》

Harmonizing Wen Yao’s Ode toMulti-Petaled Courtyard Pomegranate

By Huang Tao / Tr. Wang Yongli

Its rosy glow makes cloud and bloom plightparting tryst.

Were its roots set in Hibiscus Palace’s lotus bough,

It ne’er wouldgrace old feasts wrapped in drunk hours’ soft mist.
