芳草知誰種,緣階已數叢。
無心與時競,何苦綠匆匆。
芳草知誰種,緣階已數叢。
無心與時競,何苦綠匆匆。
這芬芳的綠草,不知是誰人所種?
沿著台階,已經生長出好幾叢。
它本無心與時節競相爭勝,
又何必急匆匆地展現這一片匆匆綠色呢?
Who knows who planted these fragrant grasses here?
They've grown in several clumps along the steps, my dear.
With no intent to vie with seasons in their race,
Why should they haste to show such hurried verdant grace?
芳草自發緣階生長,隱喻生命周期的自主性。
由階前叢生芳草引發對生命來源與自然滋長的思索。
本詩為五言絕句,押平聲韻。
