Tang poetry- Sunset over the River
By Bai Juyi
A beam of the setting sun truns
Half the river dark green and
The other half red; on the lovely
Third night of the ninth moon—
The pearly dew,
The bow-shaped moon.
Tang poetry- Song of the Lute Player
By Bai Juyi
By the Xunyang River a guest is seen off one night;
Chill the autumn, red the maple leaves and in flower the reeds;
The host alights from his horse, the guest is aboard,
They raise their cups to drink but have no music.
Tang poetry- Peach blossoms in the Temple of Great Forest
By Bai Juyi
All flowers in late spring have fallen far and wide,
But peach blossoms are full-blown on the mountainside.
I oft regret spring’s gone and I can’t find its trace,
Without knowing it’s come up to adorn this place.
