Still Night thoughts- tang poems
By Li Bai
Moonlight in front of my bed—
I took it for frost on the ground!
I lift my eyes to watch the mountain moon,
Lower them and dream of home.
My White Hairs- tang poems
By Li Bai
My white hairs would make a long long cord,
As long as an old man is bored.
I know not how the mirror bright,
Is sprinkled with autumn frost white.
Viewing the Waterfall at Mount Lu- tang poems
By Li Bai
Sunlight streaming on Incense Stone kindles a violet smoke;
Far off I watch the waterfall plunge to the long river,
Flying waters descending straight three thousand feet,
Till I think the Milky Way has tumbled from the ninth height of Heaven.
Presented to Wang Lun-tang poetry
By Li Bai
Li Bai on board, ready to bush off,
Suddenly heard the tramping and singing on the bank.
Peach Flower pool a thousand feet deep is shallower than the love of Wang Lun who sees me off.
A Farewell to Meng Haoran on His Way to Yangzhou-tang poetry
By Li Bai
You have left me behind, old friend, at the Yellow Crane Terrace,
On your way to visit Yangzhou in the misty month of flowers;
Your sail, a single shadow, becomes one with the blue sky.
Till now I see only the river, on its way to heaven.
Mount Heaven’s Gate Viewed from Afar-tang poetry
By Li Bai
Breaking through Heaven’s Gate, the Great River goes by,
Green water eastward flows and then turns to the north.
On both sides of the River blue cliffs tower high,
Leaving the sun behind, a lonely sail comes forth.
The River Journey from White King City-tang poetry
By Li Bai
At dawn I left the walled city of White King,
Towering among the many-coloured clouds;
And came down stream in a day
One thousand li to Jiangling.
The screams of monkeys on either bank
Had scarcely ceased echoing in my ear
When my skiff had left behind it
Ten thousand ranges of hills.
