A gaudy boat with wine on board: West Lake is at its best.
Pipes and strings to play a tune,
Cups of jade to pass around.
Riding steady, it permits a tipsy nap.

The moving clouds are below the moving boat.
Air and water so completely clear—
I look up there and look down here,
Wondering if that's another sky in the lake.
