At the Lake Pavilion
Wang Wei
临湖亭
王维 〔唐代〕
轻舸迎上客,悠悠湖上来。
当轩对尊酒,四面芙蓉开。(尊 一作:樽)
Small barge go to meet honoured guest Leisurely lake on come At railing face cup alcohol On all sides lotus bloom |
On a skiff I meet an honoured guest, Slowly, slowly, it comes across the lake. Facing at the railing, we drink a cup of wine, On all sides, lotus flowers are in bloom. |
