Here's a translation of the cited poem based on the
transliteration keeping the abcb rhyme pattern, the five sounds (syllables) per line, and a strict meter across all four lines to simulate the strict tonal pattern that is supposedly in the original.
Drinking, it got dark.
Blossoms piled on.
Drunk, moon's in the stream.
Birds and people, gone.
Here's another translation of this poem by
Waley .
