Respectfully Accompanying Escort Zheng in Weiqu
II
Wilderness temple in the weeping willows,
spring garden-plots among disorderly streams.
Lovely flowers, often set off by bamboo,
the fine birds won’t return to the hills.
In the end why be in the city?
in that windblown dust how can youth’s complexion stay?
Who can join a young lord like yourself
to go back together towards sunset?
