The Complete Poems of Mo Mei and Its Interpretation

Mo mei

Wang Mian Garden

My Xiyan Lake Head Tree,

Blossoming pale ink.

Don't boast that the color is beautiful,

Only the fresh air is full of dry Kun.

Meaning:

There is a plum tree next to the pool where I wash inkstones. The plum blossoms above seem to be lit by faint ink. It does not need people to praise its bright colors, but only leaves a fragrant righteousness between heaven and earth.
