The first poem

Painting a Mint Fan

【Southern Song Dynasty】You Lu

Mint blooms with butterfly wings flapping,

Autumn beauty played by wind-bent branches and dew-tipped leaves

Self-pitying that I am not as lucky as the cat,

Drunk on the fence without money needed

The second poem

Ode to the Osmanthus

【Southern Song Dynasty】Wanli Yang

Not of this earthly seed,

It comes from the moon

Fragrance of cool autumn,

Blows and covers the mountains

The third poem

Graveyard Song (Excerpt)

【Eastern Han】Cao Cao

Afield lie bones of those who lost their lives,

For miles and miles no cock is heard to crow

Among a hundred people one survives,

My heart would break on thinking of the woe
