6 He Xun is now aging,
His pen, once spring wind, is wholly forgotten.
8 He’s only bemused by the few flowers past the bamboos,
Whose cold fragrance enters the banquet hall.
10 The River Country
Is just now lonely and still.
12 I sigh that the road is too long to send a blossom,
And the evening snow begins to pile up.
14 Tears fall freely before the green wine pot;
The red calyxes are speechless, disturbed by reminiscence.
16 Long shall I remember the places where we held hands:
A thousand trees press against West Lake’s cold green.
18 Petal by petal, all blown away,
When shall I see them again?

Dappled Shadows
Mossy branches decked with jade;
2 A pair of little bluebirds
Roost on them together.
