Li Yu Poems

Idle dream far
South land positively fragrant spring
Boat on wind string river surface clear
Full city fly catkins light dust
...

Peng lai compound shut heaven level woman
Painted hall day sleep people not speak
Throw pillow jade cloud glossy
Embroidered clothes smell extraordinary fragrance
...

Oriental cherry fall all steps front moon
Appear bed sorrow rest on smoke enveloped
Distant like last year this day regret also same
Two braids not in order cloud wan and sallow
...

Curtain outside rain murmer
Spring trace waning
Silk covers not resist fifth watch cold
Dream in not know oneself be visitor
...

Life sorrow regret how can avoid
Overwhelm sorrow alone my feeling what limit
Old country dream again return
Wake come two tears fall
...

How many tears
Cut face repeat across cheek
Worry not with together tears speak
Phoenix flute not to tears time play
...

East wind blow water sun hold hill
Spring come great be idleness
Fall flower scattered wine rail pendants tinkling
Playing and singing drunk dream inside
...

Spring flower autumn moon what time finish?
Past events know so many
Small tower last night again east wind
Old country cot bear recollect moon bright at
...

Wind return little courtyard overgrown green
Willow see spring appear extend
Lean on railing half day alone no word
As before bamboo sound new moon like those days
...

Last night wind together rain
Curtain curtain sough autumn song
Candle die water-clock exhausted often oh
Rise sit not able calm
...
