Untitled (5) to the tune of Green Jade Flute
碧玉箫·无题(五)
How wonderful is this autumn scene as a poetic theme!
秋景堪题,
Red leaves fill up mountain stream.
红叶满山溪。
Good is the path winding through many a pine,
松径偏宜,
Around the eastern hedge chrysanthemums gloriously entwine.
黄菊绕东篱。
I hold the goblet full of newly-made wine afore,
正清樽斟泼醅,
With the official servant encouraging me to have more.
有白衣劝酒杯
But what on earth from all this can I discern?
官品极,
Better return, return,
到底成何济;归,
From Tao Yuanming, the drunkard and recluse, I will learn.
学取他渊明醉。
