Adorable ! Adorable paysage du Lac de l’Ouest ! Sommets de montagnes enveloppées dans la lumière de soir ! Bambous couverts de rosée, agités par le retour des oiseaux ! Bruit des fruits murs tombant sur la digue couverte de pimprenelle ! Feuilles froissées par le zéphir. Et, dans la fraicheur au fond des eaux, les poissons qui passent en jouant La lumière enfin de la lune, pénétrant à demi dans le pavillon Tandis que l’âme des lotus de son parfum trouble les cœurs !

Heerlijk! Heerlijk land van het Meer van het Westen! Toppen van bergen verpakt in het licht van de avond! Bamboe bedekt met dauw, rits’lend door de terugkeer van vogels! Geluid van fruit rijp om te vallen op de dijk bedekt met pimpernelletjes Blaadjes gekreukt door de zeewind. En, in de kilte op de bodem van het water, de vissen die spelend passeren Dan tot slot het licht van de maan, terluiks binnendringend in het paviljoen Terwijl de ziel van de lotus met haar parfum de harten doet kwijnen!
