Lu You: The Road Just South Of The City I Long Have Been Skirting 路近城南已怕 沈家園裡更傷情 Poem by Frank Yue

陸游 八十一歲時, 風燭殘年的「長情詩人」又再游沈園，題"夢游沈園"詩。

When he was 81, Lu You visited the Shen Garden again. He wrote another set of two poems after a dream:

其一：

【夢游沈園之一】南宋 • 陸游
「夢遊沈園」詩：

路近城南已怕行，
沈家園裡更傷情。
香穿客袖梅花在，
綠蘸寺橋春水生。


Touring Shen Yuan in My Dream No.1 (of 2)
-by LU YOU (1125-1210）
-Translated by Frank C Yue

The road just south of the city I long have been skirting;
The Shen Family Garden for me is the most hurting!
Fragrance permeates the visitor's sleeves as plum-flowers bloom;
By the green temple and bridge, Spring waters flowing resume.
