A Sigh From A Staircase Of Jade by Li Po (Li Bai)

zdunno03's avatarLeonard Durso

Her jade-white staircase is cold with dew;
Her silk soles are wet, she lingered there so long. . .
Behind her closed casement, why is she still waiting,
Watching through its crystal pane the glow of the autumn moon?

translated by Witter Bynner & Kiang Kang-hu
