Autumn poems of Riyuelou
The autumn wind is blowing, and the sun and the moon are long in the tall building. The window is bright and clean. Congcong welcomes the rising sun and sends the sunset glow in cold. Jackets are the new favorite, but fans are gradually forgotten. The nephrite lamp is quiet, and the green veil is cold. The long river is low at home and the bright moon is near the window. One pillow for a new dream and three cups for drunkenness. Autumn is more poetic, so why cherish spring?
