《與趙莒茶宴》錢起(722-780) 《A Tea Party with Zhao Ju》Qian Qi
竹下忘言對紫茶
Friends of Bamboo understand one another sipping teas purple
全勝羽客對流霞
An association tighter than Daoists tipsy with Immortal Brew

一樹蟬聲片影斜
A tree of singing cicadas precipitates but a light shade

江亭送別使人愁 Sadly I arrive at the pavilion to bid my friend goodbye
可憐垂柳絲千尺 Pity the willow tendrils hang in thousand feet long
似為春江綰去舟 As if to trying to bind the boat from sailing on Continue reading

一點私情奈得羞 Keeping a drop of personal feelings evokes shame
也曾漏泄在君侯 I try to let known this love profane

花開花落總是愁 My heart remains same while flowers bloom and wane Continue reading
