To Be Satisfied With The Heart Poem by Luo Zhihai

依心稱意

柳邊拾韻，松下讀書，亭中弄墨，酒後鋪箋金玉句
雨裏沐蘭，風中吟味，月下品茶，花前駐足赤誠心
越嶺攀山，緣躋身趣，枕石瀨流，穀幽絕壁騷人醉
陶籬賞菊，同趁槐黃，看蜂起舞，蝶豔香叢作意尋

注：第一二句羅志海作，第三四句葉葉新作。


To Be Satisfied With The Heart

By the willow pick rhymes
under the pine reading
in the pavilion writing with ink
after drinking spread paper
with gold and jade
the sentence

In rain orchid bathing
in wind chant flavours
below moon taste tea
in front of flowers stop
a sincere heart

Over ridge and climb mountain
walk with ease and courtesy happily
pillow on a stone
rapid flow
deep and secluded valley and precipice
the poet gets drunk

Enjoy chrysanthemums on the Tao Fence
at the same time taking advantage of
busy preparing for the exam season
see bees dancing
butterflies hunt for beauty
in the fragrance in clusters
seek the elegant kindness


Note: first and second sentences by Luo Zhihai.
Third and fourth sentences by Ye Yexin.
