Love
In the Autumn Night
Translated by Witter Bynner and Kiang Kang-hu (1929) · From The Jade Mountain (1929)
Love
Her candle-light is silvery on her chill bright screen.
Her little silk fan is for fireflies. . . .
She lies watching her staircase cold in the moon,
And two stars parted by the River of Heaven.
