Seven-Character Quatrain·After Rain in Mulberry Fields

沐 风

By Mu Feng

    雨沫桑畴青欲稠，

Raindrops on mulberry fields deepen the green,

    新晴远岫翠如流。

Distant peaks in fresh sunlight flow like a stream.

    浮花逐水春波浅，

Petals drift with the current in spring's shallow stream,

    钟鼓无情出寺楼。

While bells and drums ring cold from the temple’s eave.

作于2026年4月6日，海上怡趣堂。

Written on April 6, 2026, at Shanghai Yiqutang.

注：平水韵【十一尤】仄起首押

Note: Composed in the Ping-shui rhyme scheme (Rhyme Group "Eleven You"), with the first character of the second line rhyming.
