A SIGH FROM A STAIRCASE OF JADE
Her jade-white staircase is cold with dew;
Her silk soles are wet, she lihere so long....
Behind her closed casement, why is she still waiting,
Watg through its crystal pahe glow of the autumn moon?

His golden arrow is tipped with hawks feathers,
His embroidered silk flag has a tail like a swallow.
One man, arising, gives a new order
To the answering shout of a thousas.

The woods are blad a wind assails the grasses,
Yet the general tries night archery --
A m he finds his white-plumed arrow
Pointed deep in the hard rock.

High in the faint moonlight, wildgeese are s.
Tartar chieftains are fleeing through the dark --
And we chase them, with horses lightly burdened
And a burden of snow on our bows and our swords.

A SONG OF THE SOUTHERN RIVER
Since I married the mert of Qutang
He has failed each day to keep his word....
Had I thought hular the tide is,
I might rather have chosen a river-boy.
