A Reminiscence
Language: English after the Chinese (中文)
It was a day at Brookside pavilion
That I often fondly remember,
When, flushed with wine,
We could hardly tear ourselves away
From the beautiful view at sunset.
Returning late by boat
When we'd enjoyed our fill,
We got lost and strayed
To where the clustered lotuses
Were at their thickest.
Pushing and thrashing,
Pushing and thrashing as best we could,
We scared into flight
A shoreful of dozing egrets and gulls.
