Nature
At the Kuang-Li Pavilion
Translated by L. Cranmer-Byng (1916) · From A Feast of Lanterns (1916)
Nature
Red-skirted ladies, robed for fairyland, all have flown,
But my heart to the wail of their long reed-pipes lilts on:
Their clarion songs ’mid the wandering clouds were blown,
The tiny-waisted, dreamily-dancing girls are gone.
