A Mooring on the Ch'in-huai River
Translated by Witter Bynner and Kiang Kang-hu (1929) · From The Jade Mountain (1929)
History & Politics
Mist veils the cold stream, and moonlight the sand,
As I moor in the shadow of a river-tavern,
Where girls, with no thought of a perished kingdom,
Gaily echo A Song of Courtyard Flowers.
