刘敞·《春草》

春草绵绵不可名，水边原上乱抽荣。

似嫌车马繁华地，才入城门便不生。

Spring Grass

Liu Chang*

Grass is profuse and wildly bred.

At riverside and on plains it grows at a quick rate.

It seems to dislike the places where horses with chariots tread,

So it is not seen inside the city gate.

* Liu Chang was a poet of the Northern Song Dynasty (10th to 12th century). The poem seems to allude to hermits who dislike city life.

（丰华瞻 译）
