Noontime Nap
午 憩
嫩 绿 桐 阴 夹 道 遮
烂 红 野 果 压 枝 斜。
日 烘 细 草 香 无 价
况 有 三 枝 两 朵 花.
Wu Qi
Nen lu tong yin jia dao zhe
Lan hong ye guo ya zhi xie.
Ri hong xi cao xiang wu jia
Kuang you san zhi liang duo hua.
Noontime Nap
Tender green paulownia trees screen and shade narrow lanes
Open country, worn-out red flowers and early fruit weigh down slanted branches.
Warm sun turns grasses thin and soft with fragrances one cannot buy
Presently, for every three branches there are two blossoms.
