CONTENTMENT
I HAVE SEEN A ROAD
FLOATING NARCISSUS
THE FRIENDS
A NEGLECTED WIFE
THE POET AND THE DANCERS
I WILL BE ALONE
REMEMBER TO WEAR THEM
WILD GEESE
CONTENTMENT (2)
TO THE EMPEROR
WHEN THE SWALLOWS RETURNED
THE WORLD AROUND US
YOUNG GIRLS OF OLD
THE MINIATURE PAVILION
PICKING THE LOTUS
A FLUTE AT NIGHT
WATCHING AND WONDERING
BEST HAPPINESS OF ALL
THE BLUE ROBE
THE ASHES OF MY HOUSE
THE MAIDEN LO-FO
LOOKING INTO MIST
THE WILLOW LEAF
AN UNHAPPY TIME
THE SHADOW OF A LEAF
A LOYAL WIFE
THE EMPEROR WALKS
THE ENCOUNTER
THE BREATH OF SPRING
JADE FLOWER PALACE
WINE-FLASK AT SUNSET
WHEN THE SUN ROSE ...
GOING TO MARKET
LIKE A CORMORANT
TROUBLED WATERS
CAPTIVITY
BE CAREFUL
AUTUMN OF ALL GOOD THINGS
THE FORMER WIFE SPEAKS
FADING IN THE SPRINGTIME
THE GIRL AT HOME
THE DRAGONFLY
WE WILL GROW OLD TOGETHER
AT HSIEN-YU TEMPLE
THE AUTUMN WIND
THE END OF ALL
WAITING ON THE TOWER
THE WOMEN OF PA
THE UNREWARDED POET
TO HIS DEAD LOVER
TO THE HERMIT CHENG
NON-BEING
ETERNITY
THE WAY OF THE WAY
AWAY WITH PHILOSOPHERS
NOT IN REPAYMENT
WAITING FOR YOU
DRAGON OF THE SHORELESS SEA
THE WIND-TORN ROOF
THE STARTLED PLUMS FALL DOWN
WEEP NOT, YOUNG WOMEN
BEFORE AND AFTER
WHY BE JEALOUS?
A LADY FROM AFAR
TO THE DANCING-GIRL SIAO-LING
THE GARDEN THAT DOES NOT FADE
PEASANT SONG
THE POET DREAMS
LAUGHTER IN THE THICKET
SEEING YOU OFF
A LETTER HOME
THE POET AND THE FLOOD
PARTING IN AUTUMN
THE EMBROIDERY
THE SOUTH WIND
LET US DRINK WINE
AT THE RIVER
CHRYSANTHEMUMS
THE INSTRUMENT
A DREAM OF YOU
A SONG OUT THERE
THINKING OF HER LOVER
AUTUMN MOON
LI-SI DANCING
REFLECTIONS
AT MIDNIGHT
AN ELEGY
