Sunset Heat Travel Lotus Upon a Pond: Five Poems: No. 3

 

暮 热 游 荷 池 上: 五 首
细 草 摇 头 忽 报 侬
披 襟 拦 得 一 西 风。
荷 花 入 暮 犹 愁 热
低 面 深 藏 碧 伞 中。
Mu Re You He Chi Shang: Wu Shou

Xi cao yao tou hu bao nong
Pi jin lan de yi xi feng.
He hua ru mu you chou re
Di mian shen cang bi san zhong.

 

Sunset Heat Travel Lotus Upon a Pond: Five Poems: No. 3

Waving heads of thin grasses suddenly tell me
One western wind gust moves through the front and back of my wraparound.
Lotus flowers at the onset of dusk hate the heat
They go down deep, turn their faces up into the middle of large, umbrella-like bluish-green leaves.
