Partridges in the Sky One More Fresh 6ay
鹧鸪天
Through forest breaks appear hills and bamboo-screened wall,
Cicadas shrill o'er withered grass near a pool small.
林断山明竹隐墙。 乱蝉衰草小池塘。
White birds are seen now and then looping in the air;
Pink lotus blooms on lake-side exude fragrance spare.
翻空白鸟时时见, 照水红蕖细细香。
Beyond the cots,
Near the old town,
Cane in hand, I stroll round while the sun’s slanting down.
村舍外,古城傍。 杖藜徐步转斜阳。
Thanks to the welcome rain which fell when night was deep,
Now in my floating life one more fresh day I reap.
殷勤昨夜三更雨, 又得浮生一日凉。
