白居易·《赠卖松者》英译

一束苍苍色，知从涧底来。

斫掘经几日，枝叶满尘埃。

不买非他意，城中无地栽。

For the Seller of Dwarf Pines

Bai Juyi

A bundle of dwarf pines look pale;

They come from the depth of the vale.

Dug up for only a few days.

Their twigs are dusted as in haze.

I will not buy them in the town.

Where can I plant them up or down?
