The red-capped Cock-Man has just announced morning; <br />The Keeper of the Robes brings Jade-Cloud Furs; <br />Heaven's nine doors reveal the palace and its courtyards; <br />And the coats of many countries bow to the Pearl Crown. <br />Sunshine has entered the giants' carven palms; <br />Incense wreathes the Dragon Robe: <br />The audience adjourns-and the five-coloured edict <br />Sets girdle-beads clinking toward the Lake of the Phoenix.<br /><br />Wang Wei<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/an-early-audience-at-the-palace-of-light-harmoni/
