Yanzi Tower: Three Poems: No. 3

今 春 有 客 洛 阳 回
曾 到 尚 书 墓 上 来。
见 说 白 杨 堪 作 柱
争 教 红 粉 不 成 灰。
Yan Zi Lou: San Shou

Jin chun you ke luo yang hui
Ceng dao shang shu mu shang lai.
Jian shui bai yang kan zuo zhu
Zheng jiao hong fen bu cheng hui.
Yanzi Tower: Three Poems: No. 3
This spring had visitors return from Luoyang
Earlier they had seen the grave of government official Mr. Zhang.
Was told the memorial of poplar trees planted for him now rise like tall columns
By now the red powder and rouge has turned into ashes.
