Small Pond
Song Dynasty · Yang Wanli
The spring is silent and cherishes the trickle, and the shade of the trees shines on the water, which is soft and clear.
The little lotus has just revealed its sharp corners, and a dragonfly has already stood on it.
Translation
The spring is silent because it is reluctant to let go of the thin water, and the shade of the trees reflects on the water surface because it loves the sunny weather and the gentle wind. As soon as the delicate little lotus leaf revealed its sharp corners from the water, there was already a naughty little dragonfly standing on it.
