Bai ju-yi. Evening at the River 
 

 

Last rays
            pave the waters
                        with the remains of light.
Half river

            ripples blue,

                        the other glows red.

Ninth month,

            third night,

                        so touchingly it begins:

Dew resembles

            scattered pearls, 

                        the moon bends like a bow.

暮江吟  

 一道殘陽鋪水中
 半江瑟瑟半江紅
 可憐九月初三夜
 露似真珠月似弓
