李重元·《忆王孙·夏词》英译

风蒲猎猎小池塘，

过雨荷花满院香。

沈李浮瓜冰雪凉，

竹方床，

针线慵拈午梦长。

The Prince Recalled

Song of Summer

Li Zhongyuan

With wind and rain the rushes rustle in small pool;

The courtyard filled with fragrance lotus blooms spread.

The sinking plums and floating melons are ice-cool.

In my square bamboo bed,

My needlework put away,

I take a long long nap on the noonday.
