采桑子·重阳

毛泽东

人生易老天难老，
岁岁重阳。
今又重阳，
战地黄花分外香。

一年一度秋风劲，
不似春光。
胜似春光，
寥廓江天万里霜。

THE DOUBLE NINTH
Tune: "PICKING MULBERRIES"
October 1929

Nature does not grow old as fast as man;
Each year the Double Ninth comes round.
And now the Double Ninth comes round.
How sweet are yellow flowers on the battleground!

See autumn reign with heavy winds once every year,
Unlike springtime.
Far more sublime,
The boundless sky and waters blend with endless rime.
