TUNE: SONG OF GOOD EVENT

WRITTEN IN A DREAM

The vernal rain hastens roadside flowers to grow;

They undulate and fill mountains with spring.

Deep, deep along the stream I go,

And hear hundreds of orioles sing.

Flying cloud in my face turns to dragon or snake,

And swiftly melts in azure sky.

Lying drunk ’neath old vines, I can’t make

Out if it’s north or south by and by.

 

好事近

梦中作

春路雨添花，

花动一山春色。

行到小溪深处，

有黄鹂千百。

飞云当面化龙蛇，

夭矫转空碧。

醉卧古藤阴下，

了不知南北。
