Lonely in the lotus garden
Lung Shuo drank a pot of wine
The moon was full and low, the breeze cool
He sang a thousand Chinese songs of love
Thinking of Shi Lu, his soft, slender, lovely wife
A thousand tender feelings of love crowded in his sad heart
Ten thousand willow trees rhymed with his love songs
And two thousand small turtle doves sang with his songs
Translated somewhat literally such as -
Lovely doves, low full moon, willow trees
Cool autumn breeze, flower garden, butterflies
Orioles, sweet orioles singing on litchi trees
And I thinking of you by the Wu's monastery, drinking
All alone two pots of red wine sitting under a tree...
