A Message From Lake Dongtin To Premier Zhang Poem by Meng Haoran

A Message From Lake Dongtin To Premier Zhang

Rating: 2.7


Here in the Eighth-month the waters of the lake
Are of a single air with heaven,
And a mist from the Yun and Meng valleys
Has beleaguered the city of Youzhou.
I should like to cross, but I can find no boat.
...How ashamed I am to be idler than you statesmen,
As I sit here and watch a fisherman casting
And emptily envy him his catch.
