A new season

AUTUMN RIVER SONG

The moon shimmers in green water.
White herons fly through the moonlight.

The young man hears a girl gathering water-chestnuts:
into the night, singing, they paddle home together.

Li Bai/ Li T'ai-po/Li Po
(trans. Hamill)

I'm breaking the rule of 'original work only' in this community for the two Li Po poems I have posted. Maybe they will be inspirational...
