Gushan Temple is to the north, Jiating pavilion west,
The water's surface now is calm, the bottom of the clouds low.
In several places, the first orioles are fighting in warm trees,
By every house new swallows peck at spring mud.
Disordered flowers have grown almost enough to confuse the eye,
Bright grass is able now to hide the hooves of horses.
I most love the east of the lake, I cannot come often enough
Within the shade of green poplars on White Sand Embankment.

Comments1JUST READ THIS AWESOME POEM FOR MY HOMEWORK, REALLY LOVED THE LINES "DISORDERED FLOWERS HAVE GROWN ALMOST ENOUGH TO CONFUSE THE EYE, BRIGHT GRASS IS ABLE NOW TO HIDE THE HOOVES OF HORSES." THE POET'S DESCRIPTION OF THE BEAUTY OF NATURE IS VERY VIVID AND DETAILED. I FELT LIKE I WAS THERE, ENJOYING THE SPRING, HEARING THE BIRDS. KUDOS TO THE WRITER FOR CREATING SUCH VISUAL IMAGERY WITH WORDS. BACK TO HOMEWORK NOW!
