On Soochow’s terrace the crows find their nests. <br />The King of Wu in his palace drinks with Hsi Shih. <br />Songs of Wu, Dances of Chu quicken their pleasure <br />One half of the sun is caught in the valley’s throat. <br /> <br />The clock’s silver arrow marks the passing hours. <br />They rise early to see the autumn moon, <br />Watch it sink down into deep river. <br />Daylight glows in the East. Dawn renews their joy.<br /><br />Li Po<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-roosting-crows/
