Untitled (1) to the tune of the World being Overjoyed
普天乐·无题（一）
The willow branches are slender.
柳丝柔，
The grasses on the meadow are fine and tender.
莎茵细。
A few red apricot boughs crawl
数枝红杏，
Noisily out of the wall.
闹出墙围。
The courtyard is deep.
院宇深，
Swings tied there in sleep.
秋千系。
Lovely is the east suburb when the rainy day turns fine soon,
好雨初晴东郊媚，
And I enjoy watching my grandsons plough the land under the moon.
看儿孙月下扶犁。
Gone is the yellow dust in the past,
黄尘意外，
Of green hills I now command a sweep,
青山眼里，
Oh, back I am at last!
归去来兮。
