A SUGGESTION TO MY FRIEND LIU
There\’s a gleam of green in an old bottle,
There\’s a stir of red in the quiet stove,
There\’s a feeling of snow in the dusk outside --
What about a cup of wine inside?

SHE SINGS AN OLD SONG
A lady of the palace these twenty years,
She has lived here a thousand miles from her home-
Yet ask her for this song and, with the first few words of it,
See how she tries to hold back her tears.

THE LEYOU TOMBS
With twilight shadows in my heart
I have driven up among the Leyou Tombs
To see the sun, for all his glory,
Buried by the coming night.

A NOTE LEFT FOR AN ABSENT ECLUSE
When I questioned your pupil, under a pine-tree,
\"My teacher,\" he answered, \" went for herbs,
But toward which corner of the mountain,
How can I tell, through all these clouds ?\"
