西湖六月中 / The West Lake in the Six Month

 

西湖六月中 楊萬里 (1127-1206)	The West Lake in the Sixth Month By Yang Wanli
畢竟西湖六月中 風光不與四時同 接天蓮葉無窮碧 映日荷花別樣紅 (原題： 曉出淨慈寺送林子方)	Truly, the West Lake halfway into the sixth month Makes a scene unlike anytime else in the four seasons. Skyline-reaching, the lotus leaves spread boundlessly green; Sunlight-reflecting, their blossoms come out singularly pink. (Tr. Allen Zhuang)

雨後 / After a Rain

雨後 查慎行 (1650-1727)	After a Rain By Zha Shenxing
便從一雨望豐年， 大抵人情慰目前； 我比老農還計短， 只貪今夜夜涼眠。	A single rain’s given hopes of an abundant year; It’s largely human to take comfort in now and here. Yet I’ve e’en shorter plans than the elderly farmer, Wishing for nothing tonight but a cool night’s slumber. （Tr. Allen Zhuang）
