In a Dream by Lu Yu

zdunno03's avatarLeonard Durso

The shadows of the t’ung tree, glistening and clear,
having just passed,
Bells under the eaves tinkle in the wind,
breaking off my daytime sleep.
In a dream I found myself in a painted hall with no one around,
And only a pair of swallows softly threading zither strings.

translated by Irving Y. Lo
