《浣溪沙》
十月初霜化晓彤,夜来葭月一江枫,簪梅腊月笑寒冬。
雪塑英雄皆守土,尘追霸主又移宫;人间最爱玩沙童。
(《浣溪沙》下片首两句例多对仗)
Let frost take the first bite at October.
Let maple leaves fire up November.
Don't let doom and gloom ruin December.
Smiling, snowmen are guarding our land,
Thanks to many a little hand ---
Well, kids are tired of playing with sand.
(I would like to exercise a little discretion here. My English version is not so much a literal translation as an inspired extension of my Chinese version.)
