Autumn Thoughts, Sent Far Away Poem by Bai Juyi

Autumn Thoughts, Sent Far Away

Rating: 2.8


We share all these disappointments of failing
autumn a thousand miles apart. This is where

autumn wind easily plunders courtyard trees,
but the sorrows of distance never scatter away.

Swallow shadows shake out homeward wings.
Orchid scents thin, drifting from old thickets.

These lovely seasons and fragrant years falling
lonely away— we share such emptiness here.

Autumn in China symbolizes frailty, end of prosperity, solitude and so on.
