One of Lu You's saddest poems is "Two Poems on Shen Yuan".
1. The original text of "Two Poems of Shen Yuan".
The setting sun on the city paints the corners of mourning, the sinking garden is no longer the old pool platform, the spring waves under the sad bridge are green, and the shadows of the startled birds once came. The dream has faded and the fragrance has faded for forty years, and the old willow in the garden has stopped blowing. This body is walking in the soil of Jishan, and there is still a trace of it.
2. Translation of "Two Poems of Shen Yuan".
The sound of horns on the city wall seems to be mourning, and Shen Garden is no longer the original pavilions, pools and pavilions. Under that sad bridge, the spring water is still green. I once saw her beautiful profile here.
It has been more than forty years since her death, and I can’t even see her in my dreams. The willow trees in Shen Garden are as old as me. Even the willow cotton is gone. I am already seventy years old and about to die, but I still come here to mourn and shed tears.
