Autumn River Song
by Li PoEnglish version by Sam Hamill
Original Language Chinese
The moon shimmers in green water.
White herons fly through the moonlight.
The young man hears a girl gathering water-chestnuts:
into the night, singing, they paddle home together.
 | -- from Endless River: Li Po and Tu Fu: A Friendship in Poetry, Translated by Sam Hamill |
