Three Palindromic Verses(Bilingual) Poem by Perdita Young (Hanna Wang)

其一*

船家渺看夜，
无眠故友牵。
牵友故眠无，
夜看渺家船。

Boat men watch dim night,
No sleep, old friends miss;
Miss friends old, sleep? no,
Night watch, dim men boat.


其二*

池塘满月水，
清姿缕缕思。
思缕缕姿清，
水月满塘池。
- - - - - -
Pond and pool full of moon water,
Clear and quiet, wisps of thought.
Thought of wisps quiet and clear,
Water moon full of pond and pool.


其三*

何年锦夜伴，
风荷劲舞娑。
娑舞劲荷风，
伴夜锦年何。
- - - - - -
When will brocade night come?
Breeze lotus flash dance whirl;
Whirl dance flash lotus breeze,
Come night brocade will? when?
