Du Qiuniang – Gold Embroidered

Tang, Du Qiuniang, Poem

Gold Embroidered Robe

Cherish not the gold embroidered robe,

but treasure the days of youth.

Pick the flowers while they are blooming,

wait not ‘til they are gone to grasp in vain of empty sprigs.

唐 杜秋娘 詩 《金縷衣》

勸君莫惜金縷衣，

勸君惜取少年時。

花開堪折直須折，

莫待無花空折枝。
