To One Who Is Absent... By Zhang Mi Poem by Eugene Levich
To One Who Is Absent... By Zhang Mi
I cannot forsake the Xie house while dreaming
Of its small lane with graceful orchids leaning
Only spring moonlight on my bed assuages my emotions
While these flowery shrubs recall lost fallen blossoms

I enjoyed this. I appreciate the difficulty of doing this translation having just put in a semester of Chinese language here in China where I am living.
