Lute And Tea Calm Our Minds Poem by Luo Zhihai

琴茗怡情

鼓琴晨曉，指間流淌鄉韻
品茗夜深，夢裏飄浮菊香
脫俗超凡，山水怡情消鬱
修身養性，詩書盪氣迴腸



注：第一二句羅志海作，第三四句錢永德作。


Lute And Tea Calm Our Minds

Play lute at dawn
between fingers
flow the village rhymes

In the dream
float the chrysanthemum fragrance
taste tea at the deep night

Free from vulgarity
mountains and waters calm our minds
eliminate our grieves

Behave properly to improve my character
poems and books
are soul-stirring

Note: first and second sentences by Luo Zhihai.
Third and fourth sentences by Qian Yongde.
