In idle passing When poetry fails to inspire Thoughts confused In time to a song When the music is finished A life in seclusion Enjoying the scholarly life Conversing late at night Studying on a sunny day In the bridal chamber In honor of favored guests As host to scholars or pretty girls Friends return from far away In perfect weather When skies are overcast Watching boats sail by in the canal Amidst trees and bamboo groves When the flowers blossom and the birds sing On hot days by the side of a lotus pond Burning incense in the courtyard After tipsy guests have retired When the children are out On visits to remote temples Near a spring or scenic landscape
