Tr. ZHAO Yanchun
O orchids and confervoides sprawl
In the yard in front of the hall.
O green leaves and blossoms wee,
The fragrance blows to assault me.
All have sons dear and daughters fair;
Why are you laden with care?
The orchids look so lush now;
In green leaves purple stalks bow.
The hall full of women sweet;
They turn their eyes and my eyes meet.
I come speechless and leave, not saying bye;
With a whirl, I haust my flag to the sky.
Sad, I feel sadder when going apart,
Glad, I feel gladder new friendship to start.
I put on my clothes and sash;
I come in a rush and then away I dash.
I spend the night by God’s Way,
For whom do you in clouds so long stay?
In Allpool I will wash my hair,
And when the sun is up dry it in the air.
O the women sweet have not come along;
Before the wind I sing out a loud song.
Plumed hood large, feathered flag high,
You’ll stroke a comet above in the sky.
A long sword you clasp, holding in your arms a child,
For the people you are just and mild.
