THE PALACE BLOSSOMS

When the rain ceases,The white water flowers of Ch'ang Lo stroll together at sunsetIn the City by the River.The young girls are no longer confinedIn the gold pavilions,But may gaze at the green waterWhirling under the bridge of many turnings.

When the rain ceases,

The white water flowers of Ch'ang Lo stroll together at sunset

In the City by the River.

The young girls are no longer confined

In the gold pavilions,

But may gaze at the green water

Whirling under the bridge of many turnings.

Tai Ta-mien, 18th Century
