A Half-lost Dream in Chinese Garden
Against the balustrade I lean, under flowering trees,
In languid eyes, deeply intoxicating with Mid-Spring;
Fantasies has it wrought, through one mind flowing,
So sweet and dear, that falling into a half-lost dream!
A poet could not but be delighted in such an ease,
The more one achieve, the more behind one leave;
Such a mellow dream as could not ever be broken,
Even through flowering twigs swish evening wind!

A Half-lost Dream in a Chinese Garden
Against the balustrade I lean, under the flowering trees,
In languid eyes, deeply intoxicating with Mid-Spring;
Fantasies has it wrought, through one mind's flowing,
So sweet and placcid, dear, that falling slumbering/oozing/easing into a half-lost dream!
A poet could not but be delighted in with such an ease,
The more one achieves, the greater reluctance to part more behind one leave;
Such a mellow dulcet dream as could not should never be broken,
Even through the flowering twigs swishing in the evening wind!

Suggestion
I cannot say how good the translation is. It is best if you have the original :) The English calibre used here is very good.
