A Song of an Autumn Night


Under the crescent moon a light autumn dew
Has chilled the robe she will not change --
And she touches a silver lute all night,
Afraid to go back to her empty room.
Wang Wei

    秋夜曲

    王维

    桂魄初生秋露微， 轻罗已薄未更衣。

    银筝夜久殷勤弄， 心怯空房不忍归。

    图不应景~

    I'm also into Chinese poetry. One of my favourites is "Ode To A Lute" (Pi Pa Xing) by the Tang poet, Bai Chu Yi.
