Listening to Master Yuan Play the Ch’in in Chaokuo Quarter by Wei Ying-wu

On bamboo leaves and rooftops the autumn dew is clear
vermilion strings and jade harmonics multiply old feelings
Calling Crow and Departing Cranes are tunes I somehow recognize
containing as they do the sounds of a breaking heart
