Yang Wanli: Washing My Face

 

Washing My Face

 

洗 面 绝 句
浙 山 两 岸 送 归 艎
新 捣 春 蓝 浅 染 苍。
自 汲 江 波 供 盥 漱
清 晨 满 面 落 花 香。
Xi Mian Jue Ju

Zhe shan liang an song hui huang
Xin dao chun lan qian ran cang.
Zi ji jiang bo gong guan shu
Qing chen man mian luo hua xiang.

 

Washing My Face

On a fast boat, send off the mountains and both riverbanks of Zhejiang
Springtime, shallow water and the sky like blue indigo dyes.
Naturally draw up the river water, enough to wash my face and gargle
Clean and pure face in the morning, fallen flowers fragrant.
