I sat srinking and did not notice the dusk, <br />Till falling petals filled the folds of my dress. <br />Drunken I rose and walked to the moonlit stream; <br />The birds were gone, and men also few. <br /> <br /> Li T'ai-po <br /> tr. Waley<br /><br />Li Po<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/self-abandonment/
