贺双卿《和白罗诗九首》英译(1)

其一
 
未许焚修闭小庵，
冰心无皱似澄潭。
泥迟枉怪饥时燕，
茧薄谁怜病后蚕。

Grace S. Fong 译:

Nine Poems  
He Shuangqing
 
I    
 
I cannot hope to burn incense and meditate in a cloistered temple,
My heart unrippled as a still clear pond.
Don’t blame a starving swallow for bringing nest mud too late;
Who pities an ailing silkworm for spinning a flimsy cocoon?
