Chant Chrysanthemums Poem by Luo Zhihai

詠菊

錦簇陶籬凝薄霧
丹苞翠葉向西風
蕊寒香冷重陽畫
影瘦魂銷旅雁空
騷客盈樽吟素瓣
遊人沾露賞芳叢
敢言慧質精神暢
亦信華濃秀骨豐


Chant Chrysanthemums

Colorful Tao Fence
gathered the thin fog
The red bracts
the emerald leaves
faced the westerly

Stamens and fragrance cold
pictures in the Double Ninth Festival
Shadows thin
felt transported
wild geese are empty

Tourists became stained with dew
enjoyed the fragrant flowers
Chanted the white petals
poets caroused

Dared to say pure hearts
spirits were cool
Also believe
essences are strong
pretty bones full and round
