The Jade Mountain/Of One in the Forbidden City
OF ONE IN THE FORBIDDEN CITY
When the moonlight, reaching a tree by the gate,
Shows her a quiet bird on its nest,
She removes her jade hairpins and sits in the shadow
And puts out a flame where a moth was flying.
Shows her a quiet bird on its nest,
She removes her jade hairpins and sits in the shadow
