While Flowers Bloom Again, Youth Is Lost Forever

Chen Zhe

Continuing from my Nephew Pu’s ‘Appreciating Roses and Encouraging Wine’ First of Two Poems

Flowers may bloom again,

but youth is gone forever.

In our reunion, let’s drown our sorrows in wine,

why bother with the delicacies of life?

《續侄溥賞酴醾勸酒》二首·其一

花有重開日，

人無再少年。

相逢拌酩酊，

何必備芳鮮。
