The first cup caresses my dry lips and throat, The second shatters the walls of my loneliness, The third explores the dry rivulets of my soul Searching for legends of five thousand scrolls.

The seventh conveys such pleasure I am overcome. The fresh wind blows through my wings As I make my way to Penglai.
