Winding River (2)

 Court return every day pawn spring clothes
 Every day river area utmost drunk return
 Wine debt common go place have
 Life seventy always rare
 Through flowers vanessa butterfly deep deep see
 Drop water dragonfly leisurely fly
 Pass on speech time all be on move
 Brief time mutual recognise not mutual separate 


 I come back from the court each day and pawn some spring clothing,
 Every day I return to the river as drunk as I can be.
 I have many debts for wine all over the place,
 For men to live to seventy has always been unusual.
 I see the butterflies go deeper and deeper between the flowers,
 And dragonflies in leisured flight between drops of water.
 As we're told, passing time is always on the move,
 So little time to know each other: we should not be apart.
