药草--悉尼 瑞门

                雾露滑过

                蜂蝶飞落

                颜色略显灵活

                谦谦无话说

                任风吹而积弱

                随霜洗而肃默

                容貌清爽绰绰

                气派够沉着

                雌雄包络

                阴阳协作

                根基深陷浑浊

                神情却淡泊

                看锹铲动作

                听刀剪挥霍

                那就替死救活

                进汤进锅

Herbal medicine---- Sydney: Rui-men

        The streaming dewy-mist slipped on it

        Bees and butterfly come to rest on it

        And its colors belong to a wonder

        With modest soul silent

        Through wind-blowing fate built up from yielding-bud

        Within hoarfrost-molestation it speechless

        Showing up with clean-face sun-searched:

        A latent style yet as if a moon rises

        As male-female encircling net-like

                  As together Ying-Yang combined

        Even rooting in deep- mud

        Still the pale shade beyond

        I see the happy actions of shovel and spade

        And I hear the scissors' dancing-talking

        For whoever’s sake to rescue without dying

        The herbs in hot soup or in burning-pot slow-lingering

Translated by jinsheng, Sydney
