PoetryMooring on the Qinhuai
杜牧 · Tang dynasty · seven-character quatrain
Mist wraps the cold water, moonlight wraps the sand; at night I moor on the Qinhuai, close by the wine houses. The singing women do not know the grief of a fallen state; across the water they are still singing 'Flowers of the Rear Courtyard.'
