李白

　　子夜四时歌 夏歌

　　镜湖三百里， 菡萏发荷花。

　　五月西施采， 人看隘若耶。

　　回舟不待月， 归去越王家。

　　Folk-song-styled-verse

　　Li Bai

　　BALLADS¹ OF FOUR SEASONS： SUMMER

　　On Mirror Lake outspread for miles and miles,

　　The lotus lilies in full blossom teem².

　　In fifth moon Xi Shi gathers them with smiles,

　　Watchers o'erwhelm the bank of Yuoye Stream.

　　Her boat turns back without waiting moonrise

　　To yoyal house amid amorous³ sighs.
