The Jade Mountain
OF ONE IN THE FORBIDDEN CITY
When the moonlight, reaching a tree by the gate,Shows her a quiet bird on its nest,She removes her jade hairpins and sits in the shadowAnd puts out a flame where a moth was flying.
AT NAN-KING FERRY
This one-story inn at Nan-king ferryIs a miserable lodging-place for the night—But across the dead moon's ebbing tide,Lights from Kua-chou beckon on the river.
