Tune: "The Dark Clouds of Ch'u" Visiting the Rainy Crag Alone

At the brookside I stroll
Accompanied by my shadow mirrored in the limpid stream.
At the bottom of the stream lies the blue sky,
Where clouds are drifting by,
I in their midst.

Who will join me in vibrant song?
In the empty valley a clear note rises.
Methinks 'tis neither from a fairy nor from a ghost,
But the echo of
The “Song of Peach Blossom Stream”
When the waters all around are in spate.
