流花去难掬[5]。

Washing My Hands
Gao Qi[1]
I love spring water where I wash my hand;
Its fragrant hue should dye both hands in green.
Its wavelets rise and fall towards the land;
The startled fish hide themselves deep, unseen.
Melancholy, I sit down on the sand.
How can I scoop up floating petals clean?

[1]The poet wrote satirical poems, offended the emperor and was put to death after false charges were brought against him.
