Summer Poem by Luo Zhihai

夏


一对鸳鸯嬉绿水
满池菡萏绽新花
蜻蜓飞舞迷人眼
蝴蝶盘旋听鼓蛙
堤柳嫩丝风荡漾
竹林翠海鸟啼哗
暗香浮动诗心起
夏色翩然笔墨夸


Summer

A couple of mandarin ducks
played the green water
Full pool of the lotus flowers
in new bloom
Dragonflies flew
enchanted people's eyes
Butterflies hovered
listened to frogs' croaks
Wind rippled the tender willow silks
on the shore
In the emerald bamboo forest sea
birds twittered and made noises
The dark fragrance floated
the poetic heart engendered
The summer colors lightly
pens and ink praised
