The Beautiful Lady Yu
By LI Yu

Spring flowers, autumn moon – when will they end?
Past affairs – who knows how many?
Last night in the small pavilion the east wind came again.
I dare not turn my head toward my homeland in the moonlight.

The inlaid balustrade and jade stairs must still be there
- It’s only the youthful faces that have changed.
I ask you, how much sorrow can there be?
Just as much as a river full of spring waters, flowing east.
