Dream of Qin Maiden

Li Bai

The flute is mute,

Waking from moonlit dream, she feels a grief acute.

O moon, O flute,

Year after year, do you not grieve

To see 'neath willows people leave?

On Merry-making Plain, on Mountain-Climbing Day,

She receives no letter from ancient Northwest way.

Over ancient way,

The sun declines, the west wind falls

Over royal tombs and palace walls.
