Along the Riverside, Alone and Looking at Flowers
By Du Fu
In the garden of Lady
Huang the Fourth, flowers fill
The whole place; blossom
Weighs the branches low;
Gay butterflies flit in
And round, accompanied by
The joyous song of birds.
An Impromptu Verse
By Du Fu
A pair of orioles sing amid the willows green.
And up the sky a flock of herons white now soar.
Westward the snow-capped peaks are through my windows seen,
While junks from far-off Dongwu lie beyond my door.
Coming Across Li Guinian in Jiangnan
By Du Fu
I saw you now and then in Prince Qi’s house,
And heard your songs in Courtier Cui’s grand rooms.
When sights are fine in the Land of the South,
I meet you again in a shower of blooms.
To General Hua
By Du Fu
In the city of Brocade the lute and the pipes all day make riot;
Half of the music is lost in the river breezes, and half in the clouds.
But this song should only belong to heaven;
Among mortals how seldom can it be heard!
