Lotus Poems Written by Yang Wanli

Xiaochi

Song Yang Wanli

The spring eyes are silent and cherish the trickle, and the shade of the tree shines on the water and loves sunny and soft.

Xiao-he just showed his sharp horns, and dragonflies stood on it long ago.

Translation

The spring is silent because it can't bear the thin water flow, and the shade reflects the water surface because it loves the softness of sunny days and wind. The delicate little lotus leaf just showed its sharp angle from the water, and a naughty little dragonfly stood on it early.
