Too softly for anyone to hear --
Except my comrade, the bright moon.

While the town in the valley grows colder and colder.

A NIGHT-MOORING ON THE JIANDE RIVER

While my little boat moves on its mooring of mist,
And daylight wanes, old memories begin....
How wide the world was, how close the trees to heaven,
And how clear in the water the nearness of the moon!

Everywhere round me the singing of birds --

And I wonder how many blossoms were broken.

You may see the tears now, bright on her cheek,
But not the man she so bitterly loves.

THE EIGHT-SIDED FORTRESS

That he never conquered the Kingdom of Wu.

ON PARTING WITH THE BUDDHIST PILGRIM LING CHE

While the hat of a pilgrim carries the sunset
Farther and farther down the green mountain.

See how she tries to hold back her tears.
