Translation by Franz Toussaint (1879 - 1955)
La danseuse
Language: French (Français) after the Chinese (中文)
La brise fait onduler les lotus Dont le parfum vient embaumer le palais qui s’élève au milieu du lac Un peu ivre, Lisi danse. Tout à coup chancelante, elle s’appuie contre le lit de jade blanc. Elle sourit.
