                           The sixth month with a pair of mandarin ducks swimming in a lotus pond (he) with a king-
                                                      fisher in flight overhead.
                                                Geng shi nizhong yu, xincheng luxia zhu.
                                          Like jade, the lotus root is untainted by muddy waters,
                                      the gathering dew drops are like pearls on its heart-shaped leaves.
