BY YANG KUEI-FEI (THE "WHITE POPLAR" IMPERIAL CONCUBINE OF THE EMPEROR MING HUANG) Wide sleeves sway. Scents, Sweet scents Incessantly coming. It is red lilies, Lotus lilies, Floating up, And up, Out of Autumn mist. Thin clouds Puffed, Fluttered, Blown on a rippling wind Through a mountain pass. Young willow shoots Touching, Brushing, The water Of the garden pool. |
