譚嗣同·《甘肅布政使署憩園秋日七絕》

小樓人影倚高空，目盡疏林夕照中。
為問西風(fēng)竟何著，輕輕吹上雁來紅。

Written on an Autumn Day at the Garden of the Official Residence of the Governor of Kansu
T'an Ssu-T'ung
On a small balcony, the shadow of someone leaning against the tall sky;
In the distance, the sparse forest in twilight's glow.
Let me ask what the west wind is really doing:
To blow so gently, reddening the aramanth blossoms.

1. Yen-lai hung: literally, "wild geese come red," or Amaranthus tricolor, with showy red flowers resembling the cockscomb. Because its flowering season is in late fall, it is also called lao shao-nien (youthful-looking old man) in the eastern part of China.
