The Double Ninth on the Twisting River
Adorning[1] the mats, the ailanthus[2] is fine,
we drift in a boat, lotuses wither away.
Autumn’s last month, time almost half gone,
the Double Ninth, our mood doubly sad.
River waters, the clear stream bends,
this course seems like that at Jingmen.
With evening our high spirits are spent,
tossed along at this moment of chrysanthemums[3].
