Impressions of Paris
Impressions of Paris
By William He
Down the long and painted Louvre hall,
Mother of Love is transfixed to stone,
Precious treasure of the triple gem is breathing on.
The exquisite works of art,
Time's brutal hand could not mar.
The ascending sun with its reflection on Seine,
At the break of morn,
Highlights archaize caiques in a row.
A Gallic Oppidum,
Marvelous stones pile gothic cathedral,
The bells of Notre Dame shatter silence.
On the Top of Eiffel at dusk,
Surrounded by stars in every sense,
Champs Elysees is all lighted up.
Dazzled mine eyes,
There is someone's glance, fraternal and sad.
Maurice Ravel goes the big finale,
Gazing at the triumphal archway,
People construe from periodic motifs.
Grumbling Airs de Touen-houang,
Mona Lisa's smile,
Still remain enigmas as yet.
满庭芳 巴黎印象
作者：何威廉
妙染卢浮，
神雕断臂，
镇宫三宝钦倾。
几朝屏幅，
晖映画堂盈。
日出纱笼塞纳，
流光倏、
印象浑成。
西堤岛，
教堂森邃，
圣院禁钟鸣。
夕曛埃菲尔，
伊莲丽唱，
香榭云情。
月晖淡，
欢兴忧郁相经。
骞舞笙歌已散，
凯旋塑、
曾记归荣。
敦煌曲，
丽莎哂笑，
隐谜百年惊。
