Occasional Poem 3 of 10
        Su Manshu 1884-1918

With crimson cheeks and sandlewood lips
        you sit playing the koto,
Spring rain drops like old troubles.
Kegon Falls gushes a thousand feet,
It's your love my dear
        that sustains me!
 
Bénshi Shī Shíshōu (Sān)
Sū Mànshū 1884-1918

Táosāi tánkǒu zuò chuī shēng,
Chūnshuǐ nán liàng Jiù hèn yíng.
Huáyánpùbù gāo qiānchǐ,
Wèijí qīngqīng ài wǒ qíng.
