No. 11 · Seven-character quatrain

江畔独步寻花

Walking Alone by the River, Looking for Flowers

Jiāng Pàn Dú Bù Xún Huā

by Du Fu 杜甫 · 712 – 770

  • Spring
  • Flowers
  • Joy
黄四娘家花满蹊Huang Si Niang's path is crowded with flowers;
千朵万朵压枝低a thousand blooms, ten thousand, weighing the branches low.
留连戏蝶时时舞Lingering butterflies dance and dance;
自在娇莺恰恰啼free and easy, the sweet orioles sing just so.
