Nature
On the River at Hui-Ch’ung
Translated by L. Cranmer-Byng (1916) · From A Feast of Lanterns (1916)
Nature
Beyond the twilight grove some sprays
Of peach-bloom charm the lingering days.
In spring, when first the waters warm,
The wild duck on the river swarm.
When artemisia lights the land
Young reeds break through the dappled sand.
