Indifférence aux douceurs de l'été
Language: French (Français)  after the Chinese (中文)
Les fleurs de pêcher voltigent comme des papillons roses ; le saule en souriant se regarde dans l'eau. Cependant mon ennui persiste, et je ne peux pas faire de vers. La brise d'est, qui m'apporte le parfum des pruniers, me trouve insensible. Oh ! quand la nuit viendra-t-elle me faire oublier ma tristesse dans le sommeil !
Confirmed with Judith Walter (Judith Gautier), Le Livre de jade, Paris, Alphonse Lemerre, 1867, pages 23-24. The author of the Chinese original is given as Tan-Jo-Su.
