Li Po: Along the Stream

A Feast of Lanterns ยท 1 passage

1

The rustling nightfall strews my gown with roses, And wine-flushed petals bring forgetfulness Of shadow after shadow striding past. I arise with the stars exultantly and follow The sweep of the moon along the hushing stream, Where no birds wake; only the far-drawn sigh Of wary voices whispering farewell.
