Send Off Lin Zifang As the Dawn Breaks Upon Jingci: Two Poems

 

晓 出 净 慈 送 林 子 方: 二 首
毕 竟 西 湖 六 月 中
风 光 不 与 四 时 同。
接 天 莲 叶 无 穷 碧
晚 日 荷 花 别 样 红。
Xiao Chu Jing Ci Song Lin Zi Fang: Er Shou

Bi jing xi hu liu yue zhong
Feng guang bu yu si shi tong.
Jie tian lian ye wu qiong bi
Ying ri he hua bie yang hong.

 

Send Off Lin Zifang As the Dawn Breaks Upon Jingci: Two Poems

Middle of the sixth lunar month on West Lake
Windy and bright, all of the four seasons are very different.
Sky and lotus leaves together, bluish-green colors without limit
On sunny days lotus flowers with a bright red show.

 

Notes:

West Lake: Ancient and famous lake inside the city of Hangzhou.
