Winding River (1)

 One petal blossom fly reduce but spring
 Wind flutter ten thousand points now sorrow person
 Now watch soon exhaust flower pass eyes
 Not satisfied much wine enter lip
 River on little hall nest halcyon bird
 Decorative border high tomb lie unicorn
 Careful investigate natural law must seek joy
 What use undeserved reputation trip up this body 


 Each piece of flying blossom leaves spring the less,
 I grieve as myriad points float in the wind.
 I watch the last ones move before my eyes,
 And cannot have enough wine pass my lips.
 Kingfishers nest by the little hall on the river,
 Unicorns lie at the high tomb's enclosure.
 Having studied the world, one must seek joy,
 For what use is the trap of passing honour?
