欢人

宁馨儿/诗  

初秋日灼灼，碧水映悠云。

风动流苏影，鱼牵潋滟纹。

彩丝娆小帽，素褂丽长裙。

频理额前发，嫣然只为君。

(馨注：第三联不甚合“平仄”律，所以根据北斗先生的建议,做了修改【from“曳”to“娆”】。在此表示感谢！）

The Merry Mate

by Petite (Ning Hsin-er)

The early autumn sun, it shines so fine,

 and clouds in water drift slow, clear and light;

occasional breezes come, messing the shades,

as glist'ning fish in ripples leave streaks.

She in color’d-ribbon hat looks like a song,

her white gown a nice foil for her skirt long.

Arranging forehead hair now and again,

she wears a sweet smile, his favor to win.

Version 2 

The early autumn sun, it shines so bright,

and clouds in water drift slow, clear and light;

occasional breeze comes, to stir the shade,

as glist'ning fish in ripples trail'd n delayed.

she in color’d-ribbon hat looks like a song,

the white gown a nice foil for her skirt long.

Her tresses she arranges now and again,

a smile on her face sweet, his favor to gain.

as glis-/t'ning fish/ in rip-/ples trail'd/ n de-layed. 10

she in col-/or’d-rib-/bon hat /looks like/ a song, 10

the white/ gown a nice/ foil for/ her skirt/ ^ long. 10

Her tress-/es she /ar-rang-/es now and/ a-gain, 10
