Her jade-white staircase is cold with dew; <br />Her silk soles are wet, she lingered there so long.... <br />Behind her closed casement, why is she still waiting, <br />Watching through its crystal pane the glow of the autumn moon?<br /><br />Li Bai<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-sigh-from-a-staircase-of-jade/
