Anchored on Ch’in-huai River by Tu Mu

zdunno03's avatarLeonard Durso

Mist mantling cold waters, and moonlight shoreline sand,
we anchor overnight near a wine-house entertaining guests.

A nation lost in ruins; knowing nothing of that grief, girls
sing Courtyard Blossoms. Their voices drift across the river.
