THE PALACE BLOSSOMS

Florence Wheelock Ayscough translation

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
