On The Dragon Boat Poem by William He

On the Dragon Boat
By William He

The Summer's calm,
Softly the censer sways and bows,
The mugwort's fibres which flow.
The gently rocking boat begins on an erratic sail,
Green groves are flinging their balm to the spray.
Each soul is haunted by a boat in which that soul might ride.
Nine Songs upstream,
Aged river on his fettered shore.
Wave filled with calami and water perfumed with rice dumplings,
These tight gripping on desire's deep cello string.

As life goes on.
The time will be not the largest thing to think of.
With the Encountering Sorrow,
Ovidius in solitude,
The supplicator of bygone days.
Tossed by the storm into upper air for a while，
In swirling droplets the oars up and down.
The stream of deception hides.
The man of melting shadow and the wet earthly one,
Know pitfalls and devil's zones.

Men will find hours for dreaming or any area to think.
The unremitting endeavor,
Patience and strife may solve the riddle.
The orchid's grace shining,
Mystic whiteness hallows the lowest and the least.
Unknown liquids flowing,
Stirring of paddle melody then.
Like the veins carry blood,
Drifting and vibrating on through the fragile tangled lines.

浪淘沙慢 龙舟上
作者：何威廉

夏声长，
焚香暗步，
艾草低息。
桡傍薰风蝶魄，
云端童子画额。
想艾叶应包愁与寂。
郢歌续、
四雅齐立。
乍紫色云团裹香黍，
飘游暮江瑟。

回逆。
怎堪别后相忆。
奈褶皱枯黄，
离骚远、
扭曲还啜泣。
嗟倒映河山，
蓬岛游绎。
鱉鱼击楫。
见浅情菁藻，
蜻蜓嗔色。

世事翻环天难测。
时光解、
心中惋悒。
佩兰里、
黄埃沾草棘。
耳脉上、
汨水浮音。
