青石巷

一
石垛基
Stone piles base
基如墙
Like walls they stand
天福章府里
In Tianfu Zhang's domain
金钟状元巷
Bell Street of glory calls
砖砌墙
Bricks form the walls
墙里树
Trees grow inside
覆根爷孙俩
Grandpa and grandson by roots
新枝鸟巢放
New branches hold nests high
老屋米粥香
Old house porridge sweet
陋巷井口忙
Well busy in narrow lane
暮霞映房顶
Dusk glows on the roof
雌猫眼迷茫
She-cat's eyes lost in grey
二
苔痕叠石垛
Moss stains stack on stones
月影过垣墙
Moonlight slides over walls
更声碎朱门
Nightwatch clangs break red doors
灯笼照旧匾
Lanterns light old plaques
砖隙垂青藤
Vines drip through brick cracks
结果酸且小
Fruit sours small and shy
阿爷倚竹榻
Grandpa leans on bamboo couch
孙数星子早
Grandchild counts stars too soon
粥温灶台凉
Porridge warm stove cold
轱辘缠深绳
Well-pulleys twine deep ropes
瓦棱生薄雾
Tiles breathe misty haze
猫跃琉璃光
Cat leaps through glazed light
