A Feast of Lanterns ยท 1 passage

1

In the ravine the water wanders through; Soundless it laps the stems of tall bamboo. Westward a tiny strip of green all scrolled With fairy pennons flaunting, red and gold. Oh rare! Oh delicate is spring! Thatched roofs face one another. All day long Silent I dream. No bird breaks into song, The very hills are slumbering.
