秦观·《调笑令》

柳岸水清浅，
笑折荷花呼女伴。
盈盈日照新妆面。
水调空传幽怨，
扁舟日暮笑声远，
对此令人肠断。

Song of Flirtation
Qin Guan
By willow-shaded shores water's shallow and clear;
Lotus-picking maidens call their laughing mates dear.
Their newly made-up faces outshine the beaming sun.
Their water melodies in vain awake
My hidden sorrows one by one.
When laughters in their leaf-like boat fade far away
By the end of the day,
How can my heart not break?
