Three Hundred Selected Poems of the Tang Dynasty
300 Selected Poems of the Tang Dynasty
Mrs. Innes Herdan
One of the three poems in Ping Tiao by Li Baiqing
Clouds think of clothes, flowers think of appearance
The spring breeze blows on the threshold and the dew is strong
If we had not seen each other at the top of the jade mountain
We would have met under the moon at Yaotai
Li Bai
A SONG OF PURE HAPPINESS I
Her robe is a cloud, her face a flower;
Her balcony, glimmering with the bright spring dew,
Is either the tip of earth's Jade Mountain
Or a moon- edged roof of paradise.
Meng Haoran Chunxiao
Spring sleeps without realizing the dawn
I hear birds singing everywhere
The sound of wind and rain at night
How many flowers have fallen
Meng Haoran< /p>
A SPRING MORNING
I awake light-hearted this morning of spring,
Everywhere round me the singing of birds --
But now I remember the night, the storm,
And I wonder how many blossoms were broken.
Li Bai.
Three Hundred Miles from Jinghu Lake
Lotus blossoms
Picking Xishi in May
People look at the narrow path
Go back to the boat without waiting for the moon
Going back to the Yuewang family
Li Bai
BALLADS OF FOUR SEASONS: SUMMER
On Mirror Lake outspread for miles and miles,< /p>
The lotus lilies in full blossom teem.
In fifth moon Xi Shi gathers them with smiles,
Watchers o'erwhelm the bank of Yuoye Stream.
p>
Her boat turns back without waiting moonrise
To yoyal house amid amorous sighs.
