Bai Juyi poems
Bai Juyi(772 - 846 / Taiyuan, Shanxi)
Grasses
- by Bai Juyi 61
Boundless grasses over the plainCome and go with every season;
Wildfire never quite consumes them --
They are tall once more in the spring wind.
Sweet they press on the old high- road
And reach the crumbling city-gate....
O Prince of Friends, you are gone again....
I hear them sighing after you.
A Song of the Palace.
- by Bai Juyi 59
Her tears are spent, but no dreams come.She can hear the others singing through the night.
She has lost his love. Alone with her beauty,
She leans till dawn on her incense-pillow.
