楊柳桃花間翠紅   蘇堤煙雨遠山濛   佳人為伴西湖岸 

163.  《七絕‧西湖》一老年人

           楊柳桃花間翠紅，
           蘇堤煙雨遠山濛；
           佳人為伴西湖岸，
           更勝桃源仙境中。

Peach flow'rs and the willows present 
                                    bands of red and green;
Hazy banks and distant hills in rain 
                                           and smoke are seen.
At the West Lake-shore, soft my Beauty 
                                                 naps on my side,
Were my wish granted, I would not 
                                                 ask for Paradise!
