宮詞

玉樓天半起笙歌， 風送宮嬪笑語和。

A PALACE POEM

High above， from a jade chamber， songs float half-way to heaven，

The palace-girls' gay voices are mingled with the wind ——

But now they are still， and you hear a water-clock drip in the Court of the Moon……

They have opened the curtain wide， they are facing the River of Stars.
